John William Pinson was the younger son of Leslie Walter Pinson by his wife, Myra (née Crozier). He born in Glebe, in Sydney, in 1912 and spent most of his early years living on “Foucart Street” in Rozelle with his parents and an elder brother. They later moved to Chatswood. John William trained to be a “plumber” – like his father, and they probably worked together and they were living together on “Forsyth Road” in Chatswood in 1936 (Electoral Rolls).
Both of the brothers joined the “Royal Australian Air Force” during the “Second World War” (Australia, World War II, Military Service Records, 1939 – 1945: Ancestry.com). John William must have been posted close to home as he married Mona Barbara Vale, in Sydney, in 1940.
After the War, John William joined the “Department of Technical Education and N.S.W. University of Technology” as a lecturer and he taught plumbing in several suburban technical colleges (New South Wales, Australia: Public Service Lists: 1858 – 1960: Society and Employment Directories: Ancestry.com). He taught in Goulburn in 1948 and in number of other colleges in North Sydney between 1951 and 1960. The Electoral Rolls and Telephone Directories show that John William and his wife (Mona) were living with his mother and father on “Hawthorn Avenue” in Chatswood in 1954. His parents died and his brother Leslie Walter and sister-in-law Iris Mary seem to have moved in by1958.
John William and Mona had at least one son, Peter Leslie Pinson who shows up on the Electoral Rolls in 1968, after he as came of-age by 1968. He studied art in Australia and at the “Royal College of Art” in London and become a well-respected artist, teacher and mentor. He was elected president of the “Australian Watercolour Institute” in 2003 and later ran a Gallery; however, he retired to concentrate on painting in 2014. Peter married and had sons – so this family line presumably continues. Dr. Pinson was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2007 for his services to the arts community. He died in 2017.
According to his son’s obituary prepared by the “Australian Watercolour Institute” (on-line), his father “undertook a sequence of self-designed “spec-builder” projects” in Chatswood in the late 1950s and the family had at one time lived in two of them. However, John William Pinson and his wife Mona had moved to Lindfield in North Sydney by 1963 and they were still there – on “Karoo Road” in 1968. They later moved to Hornsby, on the outskirts of Sydney. John William had, presumably, retired by 1977 as they up the coast to Forester. They were still there in 1980. I do not know when they died.

Leslie Walter Pinson “junior” was the elder of son of Leslie Walter Pinson “senior” by his wife Myra, (née Crozier). He was born in Sydney in 1905 and grew up there with a younger brother, John William Pinson, who was born in 1912. I am not aware of any other siblings.
Leslie Walter took the “N.M.R.A. Mechanics’ Examination” at the age of 21-years in 1927 and the answers he gave were clear enough that they were thought to be worth publishing for the edification of motor-car owners and the public in general. The topics covered included: “The Crank Pin, … Carburettor Adjustment, … the cause of Blue Smoke in Exhaust, … reasons for Engine Overheating and … what to do about a choked muffler “ etc. each was a thoughtfully presented discussion of the issue on hand (Evening News: Thursday 14th April 1927). Clearly, he was a good communicator. Leslie married Iris Mary Garrick in Chatswood in 1932 and they proceeded to have at least one son – although exactly when, I am not sure.
Leslie “junior” served in the “Royal Australian Air Force” during the Second World War (Australia, World War II, Military Service Records, 1939 – 1945: Ancestry.com). However I do not know where, or in what capacity he served. His skills would have been much in demand.
The Electoral Rolls tell us that Leslie Walter “junior” was living at “87 Hawthorne Avenue” with his wife, Iris Mary and at least one son in 1958. The latter had come of-age and was by then a “draftsman.” Leslie and Iris moved to “Edgar Street,” in Marsfield, sometime before 1977, which was when Iris died. Leslie died a decade later in Port Macquarie New South Wales. He was buried in the “Innes Garden Memorial Park”.
Leslie and Iris’s son grew up to become a teacher in Kingsford West. I believe he married and for all I know he has children.
