Thanks all,
I have applied for Alexander Jolly and Catherine Almond wedding cert. Hopefully that shows Alexanders parents as William Jolly and Jane or Jean Cowie. Then everything else will fit together.

Family search gives parents as William Jolly and Thomas,
date 7th Jan 1856
Heddon On The Wall

Adam, Radcliff has posted main detail from the marriage cert. English marriage certs only give father's name. Hopefully the occupation given for Alexander's father William on his marriage cert will help you link back to all that has been found in Scotland with more confidence.

Hi,
If you do find a connection back to William Jolly and Jean Cowie I have the DCs for William and most of his siblings

Hi Jen,
It's looking very likely that I am on the right track and Alexanders parents are William Jolly and Jean Cowie.
I would love to get a look at those DC's. Could you forward them to ^(*) please.
Regards Adam
