Neville was the eldest son of James Leonard Pinsent by his wife, Irene (née Bradshaw). He was born in Leicester in 1930 and grew on Valance Street with two younger sisters ((GRO0050) and (GRO0484)), and a younger brother (GRO0374). Their father was a “taxi-driver” who became an “undertaker” and moved to Chorley, in Lancashire, in-or-around 1950.
Neville married in Bury, Lancashire, and the Leicester Chronicle published their wedding photograph on Saturday 14th April 1951. Neville was an “air mechanic” in the Royal Navy. He may well have been doing his “National Service” – an obligatory eighteen-month stint in the armed forces that was first introduced after the Second World War and lasted into the 1950s. Neville had two daughters (who are probably still alive); however, their marriage did not last. Neville married again in 1967. I am not aware of any children from Neville’s second marriage.
Neville lived on the Bolton Road in Anderton (near Chorley) in the 1980s (British Telephone Directories). What he did for a living, I am not sure. Perhaps he used the technical and mechanical skills he acquired in the Royal Navy. He died in Manchester in 2006. I am not sure what has happened to his widow.
