Hi Janine Cannot see that anyone has replied to the list, although perhaps they have done so privately. On checking that surname (Jolly/Jolley) I cannot find a birth, death or marriage before 1828 - that's 40 years without an event! Perhaps you should ask your friend to be more specific. As it appears that she does not know which fleet the person arrived it could just be a family story. Does she know the first name of the person? The reason I ask is that many families carry these stories from generation to generation...... as my own did. My mother used to tell me (over 30 years ago) that my James Kelly brought convicts to Australia on HIS own ship with the first fleet - and when I started researching about 29 years ago, found that he actually arrived as a convict in 1792.
