Addison, Mary Anne, c1820-1870.
Description:
Mary Anne Wentworth was the second youngest of four daughters of D'Arcy Wentworth (1762-1827) and Mary Ann Lawes, probably born at Wentworth's Homebush estate sometime between 1820 and 1823. She was one of eleven Wentworth siblings, the eldest of whom, her half-brother William Charles Wentworth (1790-1872), was more than 30 years her senior. Mary Anne married Captain Stephen Addison (c1795-1854), a Hobart merchant, at St James' Church, Sydney in December 1840. They had five children between 1842 and 1852. Addison died in Hobart in July 1854. In June 1855 Mary Anne married Charles Hollings (1813-1886), a gentleman in the service of the East India Company on leave in Tasmania. He returned to India later that year and remained there until 1861. He divorced Mary Anne in London in February 1865 and she and her children were living at St Helier on the island of Jersey when she died on 10 January 1870. She was buried in the Almorah general cemetery at St Helier but her name was added to the Addison family tombstone in Hobart's Cornelian Bay cemetery. (MM, July 2017)
