Constance Bryer

[3] Her brother, Gilbert William Bryer (1882–1919), served as a gunner with the Royal Garrison Artillery during World War I and died of injuries sustained in service.

She seems to have come from a musical family for her relative George Bryer was a member of one of the fife and drum bands which took part in the procession for the WSPU's 'Women's Sunday' in June 1908[5] while her cellist sister Pearl studied under Paderewski.

She illegally 'evaded' the 1911 census survey by not being present at her family home at 49 Tuffnell Park Road in London when officials called to record information.

In 1911, Bryer was arrested when taking part in a WSPU demonstration against the 'torpedoing' of the Conciliation Bill and for which she was sentenced to five days in prison.

[5] During World War II she was bombed out of her home and was forced to take rooms on the top floor at 70 Alexandra Road in St John's Wood in London, which she shared with her sister Angela Bryer[11] and where in her later years she was troubled with sciatica.
