British Army service records, however, show a Pte. F M Blunderfield, purchased a discharge from the Royal Horse Guards (The Blues) on the 30th Apr 1883. There is therefore a discrepancy with the record that shows him arriving in Australia on the 5th May 1882. It seems unlikely that he would have been able to travel to Australia whilst still in the Army.

The Weekly Journal 'South Africa' - 30 Mar 1895
Mr. Powys, who has for a long time past agitated for the construction of the Umbilo tram line, picked the first piece of ground the other day at Durban. There was a fairly large concourse of people interested, including the Borough Engineer (Mr. Fletcher), Mr. Harvey (of the Tram Company), Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Blunderfield (Inspector Tram Company), and Mr. Jameson (Borough Engineer’s office). Town Councillors were conspicuous by their absence. The ceremony was commenced without much formality. After divesting himself of coat and hat, Mr. Powys wielded the pick with vigour, and soon had a good piece of the road broken up. Subsequently, he addressed a few remarks to the assembled spectators, and sketched out the history of the movement in favour of the tram line. The coolie gang immediately afterwards took possession of the road, and, by noon, had a large portion of the track broken up. The Engineer expects to have the work finished in two or three months. The cost is estimated at £3000, and the distance is upwards of three quarters of a mile.

In 1904, there is an item (102) on Page 228 of the Auditors Report for the Natal Treasury, which details a grant of £134-15s-0d paid to the widow of the late F M Blunderfield of the Natal Government Railway.
