They met while in service at Tapeley Park, near Westleigh in North Devon, but moved to Barnes in South-West London, where Jim worked on the Southern Railway, eventually as a signalman.

Comments:I have never heard the theory that Tolley was originally a Nordic (Viking) name meaning tax collector. But this theory makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. Because my Grandad originally came from the Hull/Humber area of England. Which is one of the main areas where the vikings settled in England.Thank you for making me want to trace my family tree.

Comments:My grandfather Richard Tolley married Kathrine Evans in the mid 1930s, but divorced her when she gave birth to my father John in 1939. He evidently didn't want children. He died about 10 years ago in Southern Michigan. That is all we know of the Tolley name and history. Thank you for your interesting site. It would be cool to know if I am related to any of these people. Good luck, John
