Brian was the fourth and youngest surviving son of Wilfred Pinsent by his wife Louie Irene (née Bassford). He was born in Leicester and grew up in a grocery store and off-license on Martin Street. He was still a “schoolboy” when the Wartime Register was compiled in 1939. Even then Leicester was at the heart of Britain’s shoe manufacturing business. He became a “shoe hand” after leaving school.
Brian married in 1957. The couple stayed on in Leicester and had a son and two daughters during the 1960s. All three have since grown up and married. Brian’s son appears to have helped found a firm of plasterers, “Cox, Pinsent & Santy Ltd.” At least he appears on a list of Directors’ compiled in 2003. He married and has at least two daughters; however, I am not aware of any sons.
Brian moved to Parkdale Road in Thurmaston, in Leicestershire in the late 1960s and he stayed on there until the early 1980s (British Telephone Directories). He died in Leicester in February 2000. I am not sure what became his wife.
