    • BIOGRAPHY

      Esther May Wallace was born in 1849 in Wanganui, the eldest daughter of John Wallace and Esther Maise. She lived at Firgrove on No. 2 Line and went to Matarawa School. In 1862 (aged 13) she married Charles Revell (aged 25), a shoemaker, at Firgrove, Matarawa. Charles was descended from a titled family, 'the Revelstokes' which is applied to the town and ancestral home of the Revell family in Devonshire. Samuel Revell, a son of the then Lord Revell, came to New Plymouth with his wife, four sons and a daughter on the 'William Bryan' in 1841.

      Charles and Esther had thirteen children. Their first child was born in Wanganui, but they spent most of their married life in New Plymouth. Charles and Esther separated and thereafter Esther struggled to survive financially because Charles was in arrears with maintenance payments. He was charged with being in arears several time and went to prison for the offence in 1894. Charles died in 1920 and Esther in 1939. They were buried in Te Henui Cemetery, New Plymouth.
