Obituary from Sloane School website:- "Albert Alexander Ainsby was born in Chelsea on 23rd October, 1925 and died on 13th December, 1998, in Chester.
Always known as Joe, he joined McArthur's House at Sloane on a Junior County Scholarship in 1937 and stayed until 1941. He was nicknamed Joe to avoid confusion with his father, also named Albert. Albert Snr had also been known as 'Joe's boy' when working on building sites with his own father, yet another Albert.
Although the Ainsby family had lived in Gillray Square (due to become part of the Cremorne Estate in the 1970s) and later Milmans Street (between the curve in the King's Road and Cheyne Walk and also on the edge of the Cremorne Estate), when Albert Ainsby Snr married Mary Ann Renick in 1924 they moved to flats in Chelsea Manor Street and in 1925 our Albert was born. Albert Snr was a Master Bricklayer, and is likely to have been working close to home in Chelsea when, in 1939, the Wartime Census was taken. He was also about to begin work with the A.R.P heavy rescue. Albert Jnr, meanwhile, was with his mother at Mount Pleasant Farm, Leybourne, Kent where his father's family had for some years collectively spent paid working holidays helping to bring in the harvest ofpotatoes, apples, and hops etc.
At the end of World War II Joe was attached to the 7th Armoured Division after joining the RAF, becoming one of the first of the British in Berlin after the war.
Our Albert married Marjorie Booth in Chelsea in 1948 and they had two children, Christopher in 1948 and Janis in 1953.
R.I.P. Albert"
