Constance Mary Finn

Constance M Finn
     Constance Mary Finn was born on 12 October 1851 in Jerusalem, Israel, Constance was born under an olive tree, inside a tent pitched on a field north west of Jerusalem.1,2,3 She was the daughter of James Finn and Elizabeth Ann McCaul. The Finns made plans to return to England in 1863, eventually leaving on 14 July. They spent the next three years visiting friends and relations, finally settling in an old fashioned, delightful house at Hammersmith in what was then little more than a rural and sequestered spot. Here they enjoyed a quiet, restful life, filled up by parochial and literary work.2 In the census of 2 April 1871 she was listed as the visitor of William Roberts.4 In the census of 3 April 1881 in Fern House, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, she was listed as the daughter of Elizabeth Ann Finn Constance was listed as assistant to her mother who was a boarding house mistress.5 In the census of 5 April 1891 in 11 and 12 Brook Green, Hammersmith, London, England, she was listed as the daughter of Elizabeth Ann Finn Constance was described as single living with her mother Elizabeth described as a literary author.6,7 Elizabeth Finn aged 72 and her daughter Constance founded the Distressed Gentlefolk's Aid Association or D.G.A.A., the predecessor of Elizabeth Finn Care on May 5th 1897 ‘in the hope of alleviating some of the distress which has overtaken ladies and gentlemen who have seen better days. The worsening economic conditions of the day prompted her to help those in her immediate circle forced to live miserably and without hope. The Association raised money to provide grants and loans that were disbursed quickly and efficiently to those most in need. Elizabeth's formal participation in the DGAA ended in 1901, at the age of 76, but the minute books of the Association reveal that for the next twenty years she continued to take an active interest in the lives and progress of the growing number of beneficiaries. As she had learned from her days in Palestine, a small amount of help may be just enough to get someone back on an even footing allowing him or her to live, as they would wish to.2 In the census of 31 March 1901 in 75 Brook Green, Hammersmith, London, England, she was listed as the daughter of Elizabeth Ann Finn Elizabeth and her daughter Constance were both described as secretarial literary. The household also consisted of two young servants and a visitor.8 Constance died in 1950 in Surrey, England.3,9
