Hi Peter,
Thanks for your prompt reply to my posting.I can't reply to you directly as I do not know your address.....
I am in Auckland, New Zealand and can be contacted [email protected]
My grandfather Charles Arthur Jolley, born in 1885 - son of Edward - grandson of George - great grandson of Thomas - left home (Cygnet, Tasmania) when he young and came to New Zealand on his own.He never went back and for some reason had no more contact with his family, who apparently thought that he had gone to mainland Australia and was dead!Records show that he left a young wife and family in Tasmania!Presumably he bigamously married my grandmother in 1910 and there are now over 100 descendants of theirs here in New Zealand.I have full records/details of the New Zealand Jolleys.
Would love to hear more details of the Jolleys/Jollys. The name change seemed to occur about the time of Edward's marriage to Henrietta Elizabeth (Annie) King 1875.
Regards, Diane.
