I seem to fit into the family tree my gggrandfather was William Essex born 1845 who married Fanny Draper.

I also have Sophia Essex 1858 marrying a Henry Turner and Ann 1860 marrying a John William Bentley Neal.
George 1864 seems a sad tale he married a Frances Jane Tearle lived in India and had 3 children both he and Frances died in 1897 and the children were sent home to England, the 1901 census has the eldest two living with Edward 1852 and the youngest with Joseph 1847.

Levi born Coventry 1778/9 is interesting, in 1804 he joined Royal Horse Artillery as a driver he served in the RHA until 1816 when army numbers were reduced following the final defeat of Napoleon. His discharge papers note he served at Waterloo and was credited with an extra two years army service for this. He was granted a pension of 5 pence per day which in 1830 was increased to one shilling. This may indicate that he was wounded nevertheless he lived to a good age. The description in the discharge papers is 5ft 5 3/4 inches brown hair, grey eyes sallow complexion.

Further details are on the PICK family tree
