Cambridge Daily News 30 Apr 1943: Death of William Warburton Pemberton

Death of Mr W. W. Pemberton. The death occurred at Trumpington Hall on Easter Monday: of Mr. William Warburton Pemberton, a former High Sheriff of the county and for some years a member of the Cambridgeshire County Council. Mr. Pemberton was born at Ludford, Lincolnshire, in 1866, and was the elder son of Mr. William Wingate. He received his early education at Tonbridge School, going up to Guy's Hospital in 1885. After qualifying as a doctor, he came up to Jesus College in 1890 and took his M.B. degree four years later. He then went into practice at Cambridge with the late Mr. Hyde Hills and Dr. Doughtey, first at 60, St. Andrew's Street, and after 1911, from Scroope House. He retired from the practice in 1919. Mr. Pemberton was married in 1895, but lost his wife by death in the following year. They had one daughter, now the wife of Mr. R. V. Southwell, F.R.S. In 1915, he was married again to Miss Viola Pemberton, of Trumpington Hall, and in 1923, when Mrs. Pemberton became possessor of the Pemberton estates, they changed their name by Royal licence from Wingate to Pemberton. There are two sons of the marriage. Mr. Pemberton was a Justice of the Peace for the county for many years, a member of the Addenbrooke's Hospital General Committee and from 1933-39 chairman of the Evelyn Nursing Home. When he was appointed High Sheriff for Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and the Isle of Ely in 1935 one of his duties was the reading of the proclamation of the Coronation of King George VI
