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.
