On Family Search (and can see original marriage entry) there is

A marriage at St Austell, Cornwall

22 February 1784

between James NICOLLS or NICHOLOS
to
Elizabeth PENHALL

witnesses

Thomas PENHALL and John JOLYAN?

My Mum's side of the family from Gloucestershire, the male line,  carried a female surname, as one of their names,  for  over 150 years.

Thanks Sikes, Yes, this is the burial site for John  at the  Omaka Cemetery, Blenheim, NZ.  On John and Caroline's Marriage Certificate  his father is John.  I haven't much hope of getting any further with John. regards, Margaret
