Notes for John Douglas Boileau-Pollen
From BBB:15
George Boileau-Pollen died in 1847 and was succeeded as Lord of the Manor, for what that was worth, but not as Rector of Little Bookham, by his son John Douglas. The latter was of an unbalanced temperament and had been giving trouble at Oxford. His uncle, Sir John, was well aware of this, and yet we find him recommending his nephew to get himself ordained as soon as possible, so that he would have the living as a means of supporting himself, his mother and sisters. However, nothing came of it which was, no doubt, just as well for the Parish, but the fact does give another sidelight on the curious notions regarding the clergy at that time.
John Douglas never married, and his brother and sisters had no children. So, when he died in 1906, the interest in the Pollen estate passed by way of Charles Lestock i _, as next younger son of John Peter i and Henrietta, to Henry Davis Willock (husband of Mary Elizabeth i), who then became Lord of the Manor, and took the additional name of Pollen.
