Hi All, Victoria -Have you the paper copy of the parish record of Henry ( 1675) birth ? I had a thought - perhaps the "s" of Joseph was written as the funny "f" that was used in old script. This could help to explain confusion between Joseh and John. I agree that Joseph sounds much more like ours ! I have a list of St Enoder burials - note a Mrs Charity JOLLY Mrs Charity Jolly buried April 29 1702 Henry the son of Henry Jolly buried March 16 1706 Joseph Jolly buried March 27, 1708 Anne the daughter of James Jolly bur Nov 10 1729 John the son of Henry Jolly buried July 11 1731 Henry Jolly was buried Dec 9 1745 James Jolly was bur April 5 1754 Blanch Jolly was bur March 25 1761 Francis son of James Jolly was bur April 29 1785 William son of James Jolly was bur May 10 1785 Frances dau of James Jolly was bur May 13 1785 James Jolly bur May 1st 1795 Philippa Jolly bur Nov 8 1795 Now lets match them up !
