Bertram Horace was the youngest son of William John Pinsent by his wife, Rose Emeline (née Parsons). His father was a “market porter” at Covent Garden and, later, a “fruit and vegetable salesman.” Bertram grew up in the parish of Shoreditch, in Hackney, in London with three brothers and four sisters. He attended Goosall Street School from 1909 until early 1911; however, his family had moved to Poole Street in Hoxton (Shoreditch) by the time the census takers made their rounds that year.
Bertram’s father, William John Pinsent, died (of influenza) in 1918 but his family stayed on in Poole Street. Bertram was living there with his mother when the census takers returned in 1921. By then, he was a “grocer’s assistant” working for his brother, “W. G. Pinsent, Grocer, 93 Bridport Place.” Bertram married Kathleen Croney, the daughter of a “street vendor,” at Christ Church in Hoxton in 1924 and t hey had a daughter that year. Sadly, Kathleen died a few years later, in 1928. Bertram and his young daughter returned to #54 Poole Street to live with his mother and his brother Leonard. He married Lilian Mary Lovatt (née Hynes) in 1930. She was the widowed daughter of Benjamin William Hynes – a “master cabinet maker”. Bertram was, by then, a “commercial motor car driver.”
Lilian was around 33 three years old when they married. However, I am not aware of her bringing any children from her first marriage into the family. Bertram Horace and Lilian had one son and two daughters in the years that followed. The Electoral Registers show that the family was living on Poet’s Road in Islington in 1936, and it was still there when the England and Wales (wartime) register was compiled three years later. The Register shows that Bertram was a “driver” for a firm of “wholesale cereal merchants” and that his wife, Lilian was, predictably, committed to “domestic duties.” She had a young family to look after.
The Electoral Registers also show that Bertram Horace moved his family to Queen Margret’s Grove after the war. It was to be their home from 1945 until at least 1962. Bertram was a “paint factory foreman” when his eldest daughter married in 1948 – but back to being a “driver” when his younger daughter married in 1957. From there, he finally graduated to being a “warehouseman” – when his son Bertram married in 1961.
Bertram Horace of Isledon Rd., Poplar, in London N.7 died in November 1967 and Administration of his estate was determined to be L.545 (England and Wales National Probate Calendar). His widow, Lilian Mary (née Hynes) died in Bracknell in Berkshire in 1982. She had probably moved down there to be close to her son, Bertram, and his family.
