James William was the third son of Thomas Pinsent by his wife, Lily Gertrude (née Elliott). He was born in Nottingham in 1912 and presumably grew up there. He was reported to be a “manager” (of some sort) when he married Miss Elizabeth Brunt, the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Warner of Old Basford, in 1936. His brother Frederick was his “best man” and his sister Joyce Lillian was one of the bridesmaids (Nottingham Journal: Monday 31st September 1936).
James had become a “maintenance engineer” for the “Industrial Sewing Machines and Factory Equipment Company” by 1939. His wife Elizabeth, or “Bett” as she was known, was a “hosiery, embroidery machinist” (1939 Register). The couple (“Jim” and “Betty”) had a daughter, Janice in 1944 (Nottingham Evening Post: Tuesday 25th April 1944). She had a daughter in 1962 and married a wood worker, Albert Bernard Walker, two years later.
The family was living on Rose Croft Drive in 1941 (Kelly’s Directory) and was still there in 1984 (British Telephone Directories). Elizabeth died in 1987 (Nottingham Evening Post: Tuesday 24th February 1987), and James William Pinsent died in East Staffordshire in 1999.
