In 1858 he returned to Britain and married, took his bride to New Zealand and settled on the land until 1883 when he became a stock inspector. He died at Wellington in 1898. Paintings made during his New Zealand years are in the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington. It is possible that Rees did similar work during his six years in Queensland but no examples have been identified. This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography.
