Erdington News: Saturday 24th January 1914

Mrs. Roy Pinsent: Peculiar pathos is attached to the announcement of the death of Mrs. Roy Pinsent, which occurred at Davos Platz, from meningitis. Mrs. Pinsent was the daughter of that distinguished Birmingham surgeon, the late Professor Jordan Lloyd, F.R.C.S., whose tragically sudden death took place last year. If I remember rightly the marriage of the deceased lady to Mr. Roy Pinsent of Selly Hill, had been arranged for the week following her father’s death. Mr. Pinsent is a nephew of Mr. C. Hume Pinsent, who until recently was a resident of Harborne but who had since removed, with Mrs. Pinsent, to the South of England, on the latter relinquishing his practice as a solicitor in Birmingham. The deepest sympathy of all who know him will go out to Mr. Roy Pinsent in his sad bereavement.

Birmingham Daily Post: Saturday 18th October 1913

Proposed Presentation to Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Pinsent: We have already announced that Mr. and Mrs. Hume C. Pinsent are leaving Birmingham to take up their residence in the South of England. That is the reason why Mrs. Pinsent recently resigned her seat on the City Council as a Unionist representative of Edgbaston Ward. For many years, both Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent have taken an active part in the public work of the city. Mr. Pinsent has identified himself with the University as governor and treasurer, and his advice and unobtrusive support have been of incalculable value to the Council, more particularly during the early life of the institution. The works undertaken by Mrs. Pinsent with a thoroughness and perseverance that have impressed everyone had been in a cause that does not easily attract help. Her devotion to the care of the defective and cripped children had extended over years and has necessitated great self-sacrifice, involving service on committees, the City Council, the Education Committee, and a Royal Commission, in addition to much work done for individual cases quite unknown to the public. It is felt that the man friends of Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent, and all who know them through their public work, would like to show their appreciation of their services. It is therefore proposed to present to them some gift of a personal character which would remind them of the work they have done and the esteem in which they are held by Birmingham people. With this object a circular has been issued asking for subscriptions, the maximum amount being fixed at wo guineas. A meeting of the subscribers will be held at the Council House on Thursday next to decide on the form of the gift. The names of the subscribers, but without mentioning the amount of their subscription, will be set out in a book to be handed to Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent. The circular is signed by the Lord Mayor (Lieutenant Colonel Martineau), the vice-Chancellor of the University (Mr. Gilbert Barling), Sir George Kenrick, Councilor D. Davis, Mrs. Beale, Mrs. Dale, Mrs. Bennett, Messrs. A. Blackwell, A. H. Coley, R. Cary Gilson, A. Flavell, and the Town Clerk (Mr. E. V. Hiley).
