Ooh, here's something which says that Marianne's daughter was called Miss Essex!
https://sites.google.com/site/marapito/jollie_03 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.

Jane Henderson Essex was baptised 7 Nov 1827 at St Clement Danes, Westminster, parents James Henderson Essex and Marianne. (from FamilySearch.)

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?
