Thomas William was the youngest of Horace Pinsent’s three sons by his wife, Eveline Maud (née Holt). He and his siblings grew up on Tudor Road in Leicester. Thomas William was still at home when the War-time Register was compiled in 1939. He was an unmarried “engineer’s fitter” at the time; however he married a “hosiery cutter,” Iris Winifred Bliss, the following year.
Thomas William and Winifred had three daughters, however the first died soon after birth. The other two lived to adulthood and are probably alive today.
Thomas William Pinsent and his elder brother John Holt Pinsent both seem to have stayed on in Leicester. Their brother James Leonard Pinsent moved to Chorley in Lancashire. Thomas and Iris Winifred were living on Henley Crescent in Leicester in 1981 (British Telephone Books) and Thomas died there in August 1986 (Calendar of Grants of Probate & Letters of Administration). His widow, Iris Winifred, died in Leicester in 2002 (England & Wales Burial Index: 1916-2005: Ancestry.com).
