Thomas James Pinsent was the eldest son (and namesake) of his father by his wife, Elizabeth, née James. He was born in Ballarat in the State of Victoria in 1858, while it was still very much a “goldrush” frontier town. His father was a “baker” and he grew up there, in nearby Dalesford and in the Fitzroy suburb of Melbourne, after his parents opened a bakery there in (around) 1868. Thomas and Elizabeth and their five children (four boys and a girl) initially lived on Brunswick Street in but they later moved to a house on Alexandra Parade, which is to south of Edinburgh Gardens in Fitzroy.
Thomas was artistic and he was fortunate in that his talent was recognized while he was still quite young. By the late 1870s, Melbourne’s City Fathers had decided that they should encourage the growth of culture in the city and build up its cultural infrastructure. To this end, they staged a “Juvenile Exhibition” in December 1879 to identify and highlight local talent. A reporter discussing the exhibition was highly complementary of Thomas’s work “ … … These (preceding) remarks are called forth by a visit we made during the week to Mr. Pinsent’s bakery in the Alexandra-parade, who, after our business arrangements had been settled, invited us to inspect some work his son, just out of his time, had completed for the Exhibition. The two exhibits must have taken months, if not a year or two, to complete, because Mr. Pinsent, jun., being but an apprentice, could only work at these specimens during his spare time, of an evening, or on holidays in a little workshop his father has put up for him. The ambition and the energy displayed will be understood when it is stated that the larger specimen of handicraft is on a plate of glass 7ft. by 5ft. and the smaller one on a plate 5ft by 3 ft.
Mr. Pinsent was apprenticed to Mr. H. Ward, and the proficiency attained reflects much credit both on the instruction given by the master and on the assiduous attention paid to the lessons by the apprentice. The exhibits are two framed handsome specimens of writing and decorating on glass. The smaller of the two is an entablature (with writing) supported by two pillars on each side relieved by figures on the summit and at the base of each, while under the centre of the entablature is a well-executed copy of he Victorian Coat of Arms. This was finished in 1877, and although very excellent in its way, and quite fit to put to shame many professors of the art (for it is beyond the mere mechanical work of trade), yet the more ambitious work of two years later quite puts it in the shade, and shows that vast improvement, nay almost perfection, can be attained by practice and perseverance in so short a time as two years; and that only in that very time that is so often wasted by our colonial youth lounging round street-corners, or by making them selves a nuisance to every one about them”. The reporter goes on to say “Mr. Pinsent has already taken two medals, certificates and pecuniary prizes at the Exhibition at Sandhurst and Ballarat. He has also sent some smaller designs for competition to Geelong, and we heartily wish him and all other aspiring Victorian youth the success they are so ardently striving to gain” (Mercury and Weekly Courier Saturday 20th December 1879). T. J. Pinsent went on to win the silver medal for “writing and gilding” at the Geelong Exhibition that June (Mercury and Weekly Courier: Saturday 12th June 1880).
Ironically, Thomas James, the noted sign-writer, had his name forged on a cheque presented for payment at the Brunswick Street branch of the “London Chartered Bank of Australia” in September 1887. The miscreant, Mr. John Kiel said he had found the cheque, which was for £1 17s 6d, in the pocket of a (presumably stolen) coat he redeemed from a pawnbroker with a ticket he bought from someone he did not know – or would not admit to knowing. He said he did not realize that the signature was a forgery when he presented it. The bank clerk (who presumably knew Thomas’s writing – which was unlikely to be a scribble) had doubts and his manager checked with Mr. Pinsent who confirmed that it was, indeed, a forgery. Ignorance being no defense, Mr. Kiel was committed for trial at the General Quarter Sessions (Fitzroy City Press: Saturday 24th September 1887).
The Pinsents were a Wesleyan Methodist family and at Harvest Thanksgiving in 1890 Thomas James helped decorate the congregational church on Brunswick Street with decorations that were placed behind the altar. The artwork read: “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,” and “Thou art the King of Glory” (Fitzroy City Press: Friday 28th March 1890). That autumn, the Fitzroy Wesleyans installed a new organ that had been brought in from London and Thomas decorated that too, free of cost (Mercury and Weekly Courier: Thursday 16th October 1890). Thomas James also helped paint calico signs for a Fancy Dress Procession held in Fitzroy in July 1893 (Fitzroy City Press: Friday 14th July, 1893). Doubtless, it was all good advertising.
Thomas James was a “commercial artist” and occasional press reports of City Council Meetings show that he submitted periodic bills for payment. Most were for relatively small sums, such as the 13s 6d he was paid for writing and for painting a gate in December 1895 (Fitzroy City Press: Tuesday 24th December 1895) and the 7s 6d paid for “sundry painter’s work” (Fitzroy City Press: Thursday 14th May 1896). These public contracts continued into the early 1900s. For instance, the City fathers paid him £6 11s for “name plates” in November 1901 (Fitzroy City Press: Friday 8th November 1901) and £2 3s 6d for “sundry writing” in the spring of 1902 (Fitzroy City Press: Friday 25th April 1902). Presumably most of his clients were either companies or private individuals.
Thomas Pinsent “junior” married Clara Jessie Candy, the fourth daughter of Mr. W. Candy, a sculptor, in October 1886. They had two children. In May 1893, the Melbourne Argus (Saturday 13th May 1893) announced the birth of Albert Gladstone Pinsent at “Sharnhen” (#41 Brunswick Street, North Fitzroy). Sadly, Albert died the following year. Thomas’s daughter, Elsie Beatrice Pinsent arrived a year later (Fitzroy City Press: Friday 23rd August 1895). However, this piece of good news was overshadowed by bad when his wife, Clara Jessie Pinsent (née Candy) died “suddenly” at their home in February 1899 (Melbourne Argus: Monday 6th February 1899). Thomas had a note of thanks for condolences received from friends and neighbours published in the Argus a couple of days later. He was left with a young daughter to look after. Her grandparents still lived near by; presumably they helped out.
Thomas James Pinsent married Ellen (“Nellie”) Oldfield in Fitzroy in 1902 and Raymond George Pinsent was born in 1913 (Melbourne Argus: Saturday 14th June 1913). Thomas would have been fifty-five years old at the time and his daughter Elsie was eighteen. She married Harold V. Moritz in 1923.
Thomas James “senior” designated his two elder sons, Thomas James Pinsent “junior” (a “sign writer and decorator” living at the corner of Brunswick Street and York Street” and Joseph Henry Pinsent (a “collector” of #118 Alexandra Parade) as his executors when he signed his will in 1909 – a year after his wife died and they administered his estate in 1915 (Victoria State Archives). Property development seems to have agreed with him and Thomas James Pinsent “senior” left a considerable estate, most of which was to be split between his sons.
Thomas James “junior” seems to have had a successful career as an artist and in later life he was able to focus his time and money on good works. He made donations to institutions such as “Melbourne Hospital” (Melbourne Argus: Monday 7th July 1913) and responded to appeals such as the “Belgian Relief Fund” (Melbourne Age: Monday 15th May 1915). This was during the “First World War” which was to a large extent fought over Belgian soil. He also made annual donations to the Wesleyan congregation.
Thomas James stayed on in Brunswick Street after the death of his first wife and his remarriage, and his daughter Elsie Beatrice Pinsent was living with him and with her stepmother when she married in 1923. Elsie shows up in the Electoral Rolls as a “milliner” in the 1919. She married Harold V. Moritz at Brunswick Street Methodist Church in October 1923 (Melbourne Argus: Saturday 1st December 1923).
Thomas James and Ellen (née Oldfield) moved to Watt Street in Box Hill in Melbourne, in 1924 (Electoral Rolls). How long they were there for, I am not sure as they had moved to Mont Albert Road in Canterbury – yet another suburb of Melbourne, by 1931 (Electoral Rolls). That was where Thomas died in 1932. The Melbourne Argus (9th February 1932) shows that Thomas James Pinsent of Mont Albert Road, Canterbury “husband of Nellie and loving father of Elsie (Mrs. H. V. Moritz) and Raymond” died in February 1932. His widow had a Memoriam notice of remembrance inserted in the local papers the following year. Ellen (“Nellie”) died on 31st March 1945. She was buried with her husband in Box Hill Cemetery, Whitehorse City in Melbourne, Victoria. Thomas and Ellen’s son, Raymond George Pinsent, was living with his mother when his father died. His life is described elsewhere.

Ronald Francis Pinsent was the second son of Arthur Henry Pinsent by his wife Catherine Mary (née Lynch). He was born in Middle Park in Melbourne in 1915 and grew up there with three brothers and a sister. They attended the “Middle Park Central School” and Ronald was a member of the school choir when it won the “A.N.A. Shield” in 1927. There is a photograph of the choir in one of the local newspapers (The Record: Emerald City: Saturday 1st October 1927).
Ronald’s father was a well-known cricketer in Middle Park in the 1920s and his elder brother Norman Pinsent and an “A. Pinsent” played for Middle Park in a match against the “Lands Department” in February 1934 (Melbourne Argus: Monday 26th February 1934). In this case, the A. Pinsent was probably Ronald’s younger brother Allan Henry Pinsent. He was a good player and we know he was chosen to play for a “Victoria Junior Cricket Association” team in Perth, West Australia, over the Christmas break in 1941 (The Western Australian: Saturday 15th November 1941). Ronald may also have played, although perhaps without the enthusiasm of his father or his brothers.
Ronald Francis seems to have been more interested in cycling. He joined the “South Melbourne Amateur Cycling Club” and participated in both long (30 and 15 mile) and short (5 and 1 mile) handicapped competitive races run out of Oakleigh in Melbourne between 1933 (Sporting Globe: Saturday 8th July 1933) and 1937 (The Age: Wednesday 15th May 1935: The Age: Tuesday 15th December 1936). Ronald seems to have been a good competitive cyclist (The Age: Monday 13th December 1937). Unfortunately, any future he may have had in the sport was probably stymied by an injury he received in a road accident that occurred at the corner of Park and Ferrar Streets in South Melbourne in February 1938. He was in the sidecar of a motorcycle that was hit from behind by a motorcar. The motorcycle was stationary when it was hit. Ronald’s friend, Donald Emmet, who was driving the motorcycle, suffered only minor injuries but his father who was with Ronald in the sidecar, was thrown to the pavement and fractured his skull. Ronald received lacerations to his chest and an injury to his ankle (The Argus: Tuesday 1st February 1938). The driver of the car was later charged and convicted of driving while intoxicated. He was fined and had his license cancelled (Record: Saturday 9th April 1938).
Ronald’s grandmother, Annie Edith (née Miller) – the erstwhile owner of the “The Pinsent Hotel” in Wangaratta – died in October 1936 and her children and grandchildren (and her Miller relations) dutifully sent “In Memoriam” notices of remembrance to the press for several years thereafter (Melbourne Argus: Wednesday 9th October 1940). The Pinsent family lived on “Charnwood Crescent” in St. Kilda, in South Melbourne before the “Second World War”. Ronald’s father was a (presumably commercial) “traveler”, his elder brother Norman was a (sales) “assistant” and he himself was a “salesman” (Australian Electoral Rolls: 1903 – 1980: Ancestry.com).
Ronald Francis married Wife (GRO1613) in 1940 and they moved to “Wheatland Road”, in Gardiner the following year. The Electoral Rolls show that Ronald was an “engineer” of some sort (Australian Electoral Rolls: 1941). In fact, he was probably a “motor mechanic”. If not, he was soon to become one. Ronald joined the “Australian Air Force” in June 1942 and was a “Leading Aircraftsman” when discharged from “No. 1 Aircraft Depot” in June 1946 (Australian World War II Nominal Roll: (1939 – 1945: Myheritage.com). I do not know if he served overseas; however, he may not as he was still reported to be living on “Wheatfield” Road when the Electoral Rolls were compiled in 1943 and 1946.
Ronald and Wife (GRO1613) had no children that I am aware of. However, they appear to have separated after the war. The Electoral Rolls show that Ronald Francis Pinsent (a “Dispatch Supervisor”) and Wife (GRO1613) were living on “Lawson Street” in Preston in 1949; however, his entry is crossed out and it is clear from another found elsewhere that he was back living with his parents on “Charnwood Crescent” by 1953. He gave “Charnwood Crescent” as his home address when he headed out to Western Australia on the “S. S. Otranto” in September 1953. He was (nominally at least) at least, still living at his parent’s home in 1954.
Ronald seems to have taken a trip to New Zealand shortly after separating from his wife. A ship’s manifest from June 1950 shows that he went alone (New Zealand Archives: New Zealand Passenger Lists 1839 – 1973). He later went to America, at least in part to see his aunt Mary Elizabeth Cypher (née Pinsent) – if she was still alive then – and to visit with her family. Mary Elizabeth would have been in her sixties. He embarked on the “S.S. Queen Elizabeth” in Southampton in September 1952 bound for New York. According to the manifest, he was heading for Borger, in Texas. (Travel Manifest: Myheritage.com).
Ronald remarried either in the late 1950s or very early 1960s and he returned from Western Australia with a new wife, Dorothy, on the P. O. liner “S.S. Canberra” in October 1962 (Fremantle, Western Australia Passenger Lists: 1897 – 1963). The couple gave their home address as “15 Elora Road”, S. Oakleigh, in Melbourne. According to the Electoral Rolls, it was to be their home until at 1972 or later. Ronald was listed as a “supervisor” and Dorothy a “teacher.”
Ronald and Dorothy moved to Mentone, a coastal subdivision southeast of Melbourne sometime in the mid-1970s – possibly after his retirement. They lived on “Balcombe Road” there, from at least 1977 until the early 1980s.
Ronald had not forgotten his American cousins and he made at least one more trip to see them. He took Dorothy out to America in 1982. It was to be his last. On 28th April 1983, a local newspaper in Farmington, New Mexico, reported that: “Word has been received here of the death of Ronald F. Pinsent of Melbourne, Australia, who has visited Farmington several times. Pinsent, 67, died suddenly Tuesday morning. He was a cousin of Val Cooper of Farmington. Pinsent and his wife Dorothy last visited her last August.” (MyHeritage.com). Ronald had, indeed, died in Cheltenham, yet another suburb of Melbourne in Victoria. His wife, Dorothy presumably died there sometime later. They had no children that I know about.

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.

Norman Arthur Pinsent was the eldest son of Arthur Henry Pinsent by his wife Catherine Mary (née Lynch). He was born in Middle Park in South Melbourne in 1914 and grew up there with three brothers and a sister. Norman’s grandmother, Annie Edith Pinsent, was the proprietress of “Hotel Pinsent” in Wangaratta – a community northeast of Melbourne. She was frequently mentioned in the social columns of the City’s newspapers (both before and after her divorce and her second marriage to Brigadier James C. Stewart in 1925) and was well known to the “better class” of society in Melbourne in the 1920s and 1930s . Her son, Arthur Henry Pinsent and her daughter Mary Elizabeth Pinsent were also well known and her grandchildren – including Norman – occasionally came to the attention of the gossip columnists. For instance, Norman attended a dance in the Carmelite Hall, in Middle Park in October 1932 (Melbourne Table Talk: Thursday 27th October 1932). Annie Edith died in 1936 and her children and grandchildren (and her Miller relations) dutifully placed “In Memoriam” notices of remembrance in the press in the years that followed (Melbourne Argus: Wednesday 9th October 1940).
Norman’s father was a noted Middle Park cricketer into the 1920s and it is not particularly surprising that Norman played for the team. In fact, we find that N. Pinsent and A. Pinsent both played for Middle Park in a match against the “Lands Department“ in February 1934 (Melbourne Argus: Monday 26th February 1934). In this case, the “A. Pinsent” was probably Norman’s younger brother Allan Henry Pinsent. He was a good player and was selected for a “Victoria Junior Cricket Association” team that played in Perth, West Australia, over the Christmas break in 1941 (The Western Australian: Saturday 15th November 1941).
Both N. and A. Pinsent were playing for Middle Park Second XI in 1941 when it reached the final of the Premiership of the “J. J. C. A. Turf Division (Cricket)” competition in April 1941. Middle Park beat Glenhuntly by 41 runs on the first innings. “After a wonderful start by A. Pinsent and J. Ellis, who put on 90 for the first wicket, a slump occurred, six wickets falling with still 27 to get, but N. Pinsent and T. L’Anson, in a useful partnership, passed the score. Scores were Glenhuntly 160, Middle Park 201 (J. Ellis 48, A. Pinsent 45, N. Pinsent 24, R. Baird 24)” (Emerald Hill Record: Saturday 5th April 1941). That was a useful days work.
According to the Electoral Rolls, Norman Arthur Pinsent was an “assistant” (to whom is not stated) living with his parents (Arthur Henry and Catherine Mary Pinsent) on “Charnwood Crescent” in St. Kilda in 1937. He married Doreen May Tullo the following year and they moved to Prahran, another inner suburb of Melbourne, in 1939. They were still there in 1941 but the Electoral Rolls show that they had moved to Mildura, a city on the Murray River in northwest Victoria by 1942. While there, Norman was listed as an “Engineer”, although of what type is again unstated. It seems to have been a term applied to anyone who worked with machinery.
Norman enlisted in the “Australian Armed Forces” in May 1944, although in what capacity and branch I do not know (Australian World War II Nominal Roll: 1939 – 1945). He was discharged in May 1946 and settled On “Orford Street” near the Maribyrnong River in the Moonee Ponds District of Melbourne. He was said to be a “turner.” Three years later, the Electoral Rolls tell us that he was a “tramways employee” living on “The Boulevard” in Moonee Ponds. Perhaps he operated a turntable used to turn trams. Norman had kept up his interest in cricket and he played for “Victoria Tramways” against a “South Australia Tramways” team in 1953 (Adelaide News: Wednesday 11th February 1953). Norman and Doreen were still living on “The Boulevard” and he was still working for the “tramways” in Moonee Ponds in 1954; however, they had moved to “George Street” in Glenroy (another suburb in North Melbourne) by 1963. By then, he had become a “watersider” or “dock worker” (Electoral Rolls). The couple moved around quite a bit in the 1960s and 1970s.
Norman and Doreen had a daughter,who came of age in the 1960s and was living with them in Glenroy in 1968. She became a “teacher” and probably married sometime after 1977. I am not aware of all of Norman and Doreen’s children, however, they probably had at least one son who stayed behind in Moonee Ponds when they left for Glenroy. If they did, he could well have become the “butcher” who was living with his wife in Moonee Ponds in 1963 (Electoral Rolls). Doreen died in Park, Victoria in 1984. I do not know when or where Norman died.
