James Stanley Pinsent was the elder son of Stanley Arthur Pinsent by his wife, Evelyn Hilda (née Lawrence). He was born in Thames Ditton, in Surrey, in 1928 and he was at school in Aldershot when the Pre-War Register was compiled in 1939.
James married Judith Dorothy Plumley, the daughter of a schoolmaster, in Warnham, in Sussex in 1958. The wedding was described in the West Sussex County Times (Friday 30th May 1958). He was a “mechanical engineer” and she was a “mathematician”. They both worked for “Vickers Armstrong Limited” and Dr. Barnes Wallis, of “Dam Buster” fame presented them with some of their wedding presents. The couple had at least four children while living in Fetcham, in Surrey (British Telephone Books: 1880-1984). James Stanley Pinsent died, accidentally, in Reading, in Berkshire in 1987. According to an inquest held at the time, he was poisoned by carbon monoxide that leaked out of a poorly serviced gas boiler which had a faulty switch (Reading Evening Post: 5th June 1987). Administration of his estate was granted in London in November that year. His estate was valued at £50,351 (National Probate Calendar: Index of Wills and Administrations).
His four children are still alive and active in the United Kingdom. Their lives are not discussed here. However, at least three of them married and one of the sons had sons, so the line seems set to continue.
