Hi Jane & Pat, To answer you both to save my breathe! :) >Did you ever look for the missing NEWBERYs ( London) at LDS ? No have not looked for them as yet - am flat out trying to get through the 3 films I have in. >. Sounds like you had more on JOLLYs missing >years than I have. I wonder if the original Mt Barker house is still >there - any address ? Who do you think were the JOLLY Bros printers ? >William and which other brother ? I am thinking that it was Jane's Joseph - they always seemed more together than Henry it seems but that is only a guess! as Henry was married in 1866 at Dry Creek [where is that?] and I figure away from Mt Barker and wasn't he a blacksmith? Where was he married? Re the address of the house I am not sure but I might be able to find out. It may be in the postal directories SA Almanac and Town & Country Directories were published each year from 1839 & are in the library. Pat's Joseph was already entrenched in SA [arrival 1846] so where did he live and what did he do? Do you know Pat? Could be worth a look up in the directory too. >Fighting off a cold at the moment - all achey and sneezy. Hope you get over it faster than I did Jane!! FROM Pat: Thanks for those extracts from the S.A. business directories. Another facet to the fleshing out of the Jolly family in S.A. The church aspect is also interesting as my Joseph presumably would have been in contact with the local church or church circuit wherever he was living. But how does one find out Methodist Church records? ***I wonder if he even went to Mt Barker? The Mortlock Library has Methodist Records but not many that are that early. The actual church may still hold some - I believe Mt Barker does - this is where the info I have is from but back in the 80s it was obtained. I have a copy o copy of Andrew Peake's book 'Sources for South Australian History' and he list the years of Methodist Records in Mortlock Library. *** Do you think the records of the S.A.Bank would be still available? ***Cannot find anything in Andrew Peake's Book on banks. *** I have a record of J.Jolly clerk, Moonta Mines 1872-1876. Do you have any claim on him or could he be mine do you think? Also a Joseph Jolly, oreweigher Moonta Mines 1872-1878, and an assayer in 1882. He is not mine so which of yours would he be? *** Jos the Clerk was Jos sen husband of Betsy. The oreweigher/assayer was Jane's Joseph the son and my Wm's brother. *** P.S. Also seriously considering how I can get enough of the readies together to join you for the return to Cornwall in 2002. What fun it would be. *** Uh oh!!
