Hi everyone,
This is a long term project. Over the past four years I've accumulated a few hundred :-[ 'not mine' Jolly records from SP. I'm now at a brick wall with 'my' Jollys and thought if I could make sense of all the Jollys in the NE of Scotland I might be able to eventually make links back to my branch. I'm going to start with the Jollys on the Kincardineshire 41 census then when (if) I get that far I'll start on the Angus group from 41. Like I said this is a long term winter project for when I'm not in the garden! Please get in touch if you're interested in NE Scotland Jollys.

Hi I know its not the north of Scotland but BOWDEN cemeteryhere in the Scottish Borders near Melrose (Roxburghshire) has a JOLLY who was the minister here for many years.
"186 Obelisk Sacred to the memory of the Rev THOMAS JOLLY disruption minister"
"of Bowden born December 1795 settled in Bowden 4.8.1829 died minister of the"
"Free Church 30.5.1859"

Thanks Alan,
You would have thought Thomas was a wee bit too far south for me but indeed he looks to be a bit too far north. Thomas was born in Dunnet in Caithness and in fact his father (also a Thomas) is still the minister there in 1841 age 85. Hmm, just had to have a look at papa a very interesting man by the sound of it and he was born of a farmer - William Jolly of Glenbervie. ;D ;D ;D
Looks like I have another group of Jollys to investigate - thank you Alan!

"Jolly" good luck with your endeavour.
One question, have you searched the surname "Jolly" in IGI for Scotland?
9640 results, and thay are free. Cheaper than SP

Hi Malky,
When I started out I only used SP but since joining Rootschat I have discovered so many other resources and learned SO much. I now use the IGI as a searching tool before parting with pennies at SP. The NE Jollys have been on the back burner I'm afraid as I've been writing up my Fraser and Russell branches. I'll hopefully make more inroads this winter when the weather forces me out of the garden!

Lucky you. The weather has just forced me IN from the garden. >:( >:(

Hi,
That'll be Thomas married to Elizabeth Ferrier? I've got some information on his siblings Margaret and William if that's any help.

Hi jen
Wondering if you've found any info on the marriage of David Jolly b 1809 aberlemno, angus- son of Thomas Jolly/ Elizabeth Mary Ferrier. I have been on scots people and looked at all OPR & Stat marriages and can't confirm either.
Also in your tree William Jolly married Ann Jolly 1801 logie pert. Do you know Ann's parents?
thanks
regards

Hi Keira,
Ann Jolly who married William Jolly in 1801 Logie Pert are part of my (very stuttering....) one name study - not sure if/how they link to me. Sorry but I've nothing on Ann.
David son of Thomas born 1809...can't account for him...he's not the David Jolly who died in 1881 age 75 married to Jane Rennie as his father was a Charles Jolly. He could have died young? Seems a very large gap between David and the birth of his sister Ann?
There is a David Jolly living with a Mary (possibly Robertson) in 1841 - by 1851 no sign of either but young Thomas looks to be living with his grandmother in St Vigeans parish - speculation though.
Keira, I think I need to bite the bullet and get some software to help with these Jolly's.

My 3x great-grandmother Elizabeth Valentine b. 1830, Marykirk, had an illegitimate child with a John Jolly. The child was David Jolly b.1849 Marykirk. I don't have any more details on these Jollys unfortunately as they aren't a direct line for me. Elizabeth married a James Davidson Ewan in 1854, St Cyrus.

Did the baptism state where John Jolly was from, usually written 'of.....'?

Hi Jill,
I kept an eye on Elizabeth's son as he was born around the same time as David Jolly to Diana Rae and David Jolly. With help on Rootschat I finally found 'my' David Jolly in England - he named his daughter Diana Reay Jolly which was very helpful of him ;) I have the orginal 51 census for the 2 year old David in case you don't already have a copy. Did your David revert to Valentine? I've not got a copy of his death certifcate and I thought I had every David Jolly who died in Scotland up to the 50 year cut off...not like I'm obsessive or anything ;)

I haven't actually seen the baptism record yet, I've just gone off various census and the SP index which names Elizabeth also. I have mainly been getting records up for my direct lines and only now beginning to delve into the various branches.
It will be something I plan to get the next time I get SP credits which will be after this coming Friday. :)

Hi Jen,
Thanks for this info. Is your David Jolly the David that married an Ann Morrison? I wasn't sure if this was 'my' David or not. There is a census record for 1891 in Liverpool for David Jolly in Mount Pleasant?
I have seen a transcription of the 1851 census where 2 year old David is living with his grandmother and his mother, but haven't seen the original. I haven't done much more research into him at present so I'm not sure if he reverted to Valentine but it will be something I'm looking at starting to solve from now.
Many thanks,
Jill.
