Expanding on the info taken from Kelly’s Directory and looking at the Census we find out a little more…

Mr Finch can be seen living at this property along with his family on the Census of 1881, the same year that the Kelly’s Directory I took my original information from was published. The Finch family were a little better off than some of the occupants of what was then Holland Street, affording to have servants. The property is no longer standing.
