Douglas George Pinsent was the eldest son of Albert George Pinsent by his wife, Bessie Edith (née Froom). He was born in Chudleigh in 1927 and grew up there with a younger brother and three sisters. Douglas, his eldest sister Christine and another sister, whose information has been redacted were living with their mother next door to their maternal grandparent’s home in Chudleigh when the England and Wales Register was compiled in 1939. Their father was absent – he was serving with the Military Police.
Douglas and Christine attended the funeral of one of their Froom cousins in Chudleigh in October 1949. Douglas was a “labourer” in a concrete works when he married Joyce Turner (née Hamilton), a widow from Kenton, in the Devon Central Registry Office in January 1957. The couple settled in Kenton, which is near Starcross south of Exeter. They had three sons and a daughter in the years that followed. All but one of the boys seems to have married so their families are probably still around.
Douglas George Pinsent died in Devon in 1993. His widow, Joyce stayed on in Kenton with her eldest son. She died in November 2010 and was buried in Starcross (Findagrave:worldvitalrecords.com).
