Arthur Edward Thomas was the eldest son of Thomas Pinsent by his wife, Lily Gertrude (née Elliott). He was born in Nottingham in August 1908 and grew up there. He married Dolly Blood, who may have literally been the “girl next door ” as both their families lived on Rose Street in September 1937. Arthur was a “lorry” (truck) driver for an unnamed brewery when their first son, Neville Arthur Pinsent was born in 1938, and for the “Alet Mineral Water Company” when the Wartime Register was compiled the following year. The family was living on Allison Rise in Nottingham at the time. Arthur had a second son, Kenneth Anthony Pinsent in 1944.  Arthur eventually moved on from being a lorry “driver” to being a “mechanic”.

Dolly (née Blood) died of cancer in Nottingham in 1958 and Arthur Edward Thomas Pinsent died there a few years later, in 1964. I know almost nothing about his eldest son, Neville Arthur Pinsent, except that he died in Derbyshire in 2001. As far as I am aware, he never married or had children. Arthur Edward’s younger son married twice and had children by the first. His line probably continues.
