About

…half remembered pasts

This is an exploration of our Finch family roots. Emerging from the lightermen professions of London docklands, the family spread to the outer suburbs of Essex, Surrey and Kent. Through research and the rejuvenation of family photos we wanted to get a little closer to reality – to bring those stories to life.

In the words of Mark Twain:

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.”
