Constance Hornby

Constance Hornby was the daughter of Nathaniel Hornby a goldsmith and banker and Citizen of London.
She was born around 1665 and died in 1728 at Rainham in Essex.

(source transcribed notes J Hamilton);
Sep of 19, 1744 Mrs Twood told me Will Crouch his father & Mrs Horneby Mrs Constance Finch's mother was brother & sister - Constance Finch was Geo Finch's mother, Geo Finch was father to Dorothy Finch so Dorothy Finch is 2nd Cousin to Will Crouch, he has no relation but one Ann Crouch living she lives near Coulchester in Essex & hath chilldren living.

Constance married George Finch at St Margaret's Church in Lee, Kent in 1690. They had five sons and a daughter. In 1702 George acquired Valentines in Essex and also property at Rainham a year before he died in 1710. Valentines was sold in 1724 and Constance was buried at Rainham when she died in 1728. The Rainham properties were sold in 1729.
The eldest son, William, died without issue at Bath in 1735 and the second son, George died without any surviving male heir so his estates went back to the male line.
