Ooh, here's something which says that Marianne's daughter was called Miss Essex!

Also that in 1846 or 1847, Miss Essex married "Doctor Pollen of Auckland, who afterwards became and Member of the Legislative Council and was a member of several New Zealand Governments".

Ah, the New Zealand Encyclopaedia says that Dr Daniel Pollen married, on 18 May 1846, Jane Henderson, daughter of Lieut Essex, RN, of Demerara.

Here is Charles in 1839, solemnising the marriage of his cousin Lucinda: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/21...nSearchResults

When his sister Maria made her will, she named Nicholas Duckworth her executor. In 1851, his eldest daughter was a pupil of hers.

Looking on Papers Past, the Nelson Examiner and New Zealand Chronicle 23 May 1846 says "MARRIED. On the 18th instant, by the Rev C L Reay, D Pollen, Esq, MD, to Jane Henderson Essex, daughter of the late Lieutenant Essex, RN."

(by the way, there are lots of long-winded letters that Charles wrote to the papers on there.)

And this also from Papers Past:
New Zealand Herald 30 Nov 1903
DEATHS. On November 28, at Grange Road, Mount Roskill, Jane Henderson, relict of the late Hon. Dr. Pollen, aged 75 years. Private interment.

This is a seriously wealthy family.

Charles's sister Julia married Thomas Ripley and after he died, built Ripley's Hospital, which apparently cost over £100k.

The Ripleys were in Bangor in 1841 - no Reays with them.

I note in one of the items Kate found that Charles Lucas Reay's dates were 1780 - 1848. Was that a misreading of his gravestone?
