Thank you for your reply. Dolly does not seem like a common name. My gr grandmother, Mary Dolly (Fowler), dau of Wm Dolly and Bridget Skerritt Dolly, was born 1876 in Anbally, Co Galway. This is in the Claregalway area. Her father was a blacksmith and so were her brothers. Wm. Dolly was a son of Mathias(Matthew) Dolly. These Dolly's supposedly came from the Manchester England Area. Mathius Dolly's wife was named Mary Nolan. I live not far from Portland Maine area and there was a Dolley family in Westbrook ,Maine many years ago. There was another Henry Dolly who was insane, not sure if any of these were distant relatives or not.I am talking late 1800's, early 1900's. There is also a cemetery in Scarborough Maine with 2 brothers who were in the Civil War between the states(1861-1865), Enos and ?[cannot remember name} Dolly. Anything you know about your family, I would love to know to save and compare with any notes I already have... maybe can piece something together. Thanks again.
