Raymond George Pinsent was a late son of Thomas James Pinsent, a commercial artist and sign-writer, and his second wife Ellen (née Oldfield). He was born in Fitzroy, a suburb of Melbourne in Australia and he grew up with a older half-sister, Elsie Beatrice Pinsent. He was ten years old when she married in 1923 and he was living with his mother Ellen (“Nellie”) when his father died in 1932. According to the Electoral Rolls, they lived on Mont Albert Street in Canterbury, near Melbourne, in 1936 and 1937. Raymond was a “clerk.”
Raymond George Pinsent married Ruby Margaret (née Anderson) before the “Second World War” and they moved into a house on Watson Street, in Glen Iris, in Victoria. It was to be their home until Raymond died in 1983. Raymond and Ruby had a daughter sometime during the war and a son, in 1949. His mother Ellen (née Oldfield) died while he was serving with the “Royal Australian Air Force” (Melbourne Argus: Wednesday 4th April 1945).
Raymond became a “salesman” after the war and he was a “sales clerk” working for a branch of “Walton Department Stores” in Melbourne when he wrote to my father in 1965 (Dr. R. J. F. H. Pinsent). He died in Melbourne in June 1983. Presumably Ruby also died there too; however, I can not say when.
I know very little about Raymond and Ruby’s daughter. She may well have married at some point. His son, Colin George Pinsent, was a “planner” of some sort. He probably married twice and had children by his second marriage. His life is briefly discussed elsewhere.
