William's father was Charles Sheriff b 12 Sept 1800. William's brother was James Dallas Sheriff who went to Australia!!  My mother is now 98!!! and she was born in Ealing in London in 1916. She had 2 brothers Douglas and Neil both also born in England, but both died young.

Hi Jenny,  This might be of interest to you. It's a thesis done by a Kathrin Zickerman about Alexander Jolly. Robert Jolly and a George Jolly who were traders between the Mearns and Germany in the late 1600's and early 1700's

    It might be worth having a look as Alexander was the captain of the Ships
All the Best            David Jolly

Hi Jenny, Thanks for getting back so quickly. Enjoy your time in Spain, I hope the weather is better there than it is here in Glasgow.   You might be interested in looking up "Arbuthnott"  by George Suttie Clark on the internet. It has quite a lot of info on Jolly's living in Arbuthnott and the things going on in the area. It was written in the early 1900's looking back 60 years. It also mentions the Reids in the area, one of them being Margaret Jolly who was married to Hugh Reid.
Anyway enjoy    speak to you soon      David Jolly

Your right about Alexander Jolly and Isobel Rennie.  Alexander Jolly and Margaret Grant is Alexander's Father, but he is also father to Robert Jolly my 3xgreat grandfather and a Francis Jolly.  I'm new to this so I'm going to ask a question and I hope you guys can help me out . Alexander Jolly Senior is the son of Alexander Jolly and Jean Gildawie who married in 1750, but I cannot find where This Alexander Jolly was born. The only one I can find was born in 1729 (right age area) but this one was in Montrose! Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks     David
