ditchcrawler Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 I was reading a blog a couple of days ago and a chap called Tolley came up, there is even a photo of him, I am just wondering if anyone can add any more information about him. http://jhalfie.blogspot.com/2019/09/memories-from-man-who-used-to-work-on.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray T Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) There is some information on the Tolly's on the Facebook group "Life on the Cut in Bygone Days." It is however a closed group. It has pictures of Jack and his wife Leah Tolly, John Tolly and Rose and Fred Gibbs, related to the Tolly's. Posted 23 weeks ago April 13th 2019.

jeannette smith harrison Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 The Tolly boating family go back some way in the 1891 census a William Tolley born 1862 & his half brother Mark born 1873 from tipton toll end .William had a daughter who married into the Lenton family that I belive used to own charity docks long ago will check this is correct when I am next in contact with Roy Lenton. Solomon Tolly married into the Gardner boating family & in the 1940's his son a Thomas Tolley ran boats for Manny Smith from Brentford to Birmingham but the gentleman you mention may well be John Tolley as I was at Arther Tolley's funeral around 2005 & as far as I know John is still with us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
