He died 13th jan 1971 but would like to find out abot his parents, they were george jolly and margaret ann green :)

The more details you give us the easier it is to help you- this includes explaining exactly what sort of information you are looking for.
The latest available census is 1911 and it's unlikely that James' parents would have been married then so your best hope of getting further back (if this is your aim) might be to order their marriage certificate which should give you their addresses and names of both fathers.
FreeBMD has the marriage indexed- Jan./Mar.1923 Preston district volume 8e page 955- Margaret A. Green/George Jolly

Thank you :)

1923 JOLLY George to Green Margaret Ann Ashton on Ribble Preston 205/5/306

There is a death registration in Preston in December 1987 for a Margaret Ann Jolly with a birth date of 06/06/1900.
There is a christening of a Margaret Ann Green in Preston on 20/06/1900. Her parents are shown as John William Green and Alice (probably nee Heald).
In 1911, she and her family lived at Ashton on Ribble, where the 1923 marriage took place. GF

There is also a George JOLLY born c 1896, Christened 20 Dec 1896, Preston, Lancs to GEORGE and NANCY
A George Jolly Married June 1889 , Preston, 8e 829
On the same page is a Nancy SHUTTLEWORTH
There is a Death Reg for a George JOLLY 1971, Amounderness, 10b 77,
Birth Date 11 September 1896
George Snr was born c 1863 Whittle le Woods in 1901 Census. Wife Nancy has her age mistranscribed in both 1891/1901 Census.
Looking back I think she is the Daug of William/Mary Shuttleworth and born c 1864, Preston, Lancs

There was also a George Jolly born at Preston in 1900 (parents John and Elizabeth) who seemed more likely (to me) but a sight of the 1923 marriage details is needed to ascertain which one (and also to confirm the father of Margaret Ann Green - although that seems more clear cut). GF
