  My reference notes that "Essex" was a trade name used on shotguns, by the Belknap Hardware Co. of Louisville, KY, USA. Early in the 20th Century.
  
  The guns were made by both Crescent and Stevens, over the years.
  
  It's entirely possible that you have a Spanish shotgun of a much latter vintage, using the same name. If so, the numerous Spanish proofmarks, would be indicative of it's country of origin.
  
  If it is indeed a Spanish made gun, here is a link to a web-site that will help you research it.
