Pam married Squadron Leader Michael Rosco Ingle-Finch in Westminster in 1944. She was the daughter of Squadron Leader Laurence Henry Forster Irving (RAF), who was helping Peter Fleming in Kent in 1940, and his wife Rosalind (nee Woolner). This doubtless explains her recruitment to Special Duties. Laurence was an art director and was the grandson of the actor Sir Henry Irving and the son of the actress Miss Dorothy Baird. Born in St Pancras she was brought up in The Black Windmill, Whitstable, Kent.
She died in Ashford, Kent and the couple are buried at St Marys Church, Stone.
