There is only one Jolly Family on the 1861 Census for Shapinsay Orkney and I wondered if this might be Margaret's family. They appear in 1871 also.

William Jolly m Margaret Dinnison 29 Nov 1855 Shapinsay,Orkney
There is a Margaret Jolly b.22 Apr 1856 in Shapinsay Orkney – parents are William Jolly and Margaret Dinnison. Two siblings Christina Leask Dinnison Jolly b.21 Dec 1862 and William Jolly 17 Mar 1858.

Living at Westhill, Shapinsay, Orkney 1861

Margaret Jolly 39 b. Shapinsay
Margaret Jolly 4 b.Shapinsay
William Jolly 3 b.Shapinsay
John Jolly 6mns b.Shapinsay

They have two servants living with them

Robert Garden senior was my great grandfather. He was the illegitimate son of Barbara Allan and Robert Garden (I ordered the birth certificate!). He was born in Rayne, Aberdeen. I've done lots of research on this as I'm writing a book on my father, Oscar Garden, who became a pioneer aviator. I have also written a long article on Robert Garden and his commercial trading empire (including the floating shops) and this will soon be published in Scotland's Northern Times.
If you email me I can send you more info and the family tree ...
