Late last night I tried the old chestnut of seeing if anyone else was researching this branch of my family - the public trees on Ancestry are a mixed bag, some are really good, with lots of sources and even certificates and photos, some are complete rubbish, with people being born when their parents are children and getting married after they've died, that sort of thing.
The Jolly and Nutley lines seem popular though - and there are some photos too. I recognised at least one of the marriage certificates though - it was from my collection or maybe even my own website. Now I don't mind, and I did say as much in a comment, but it would have been nice to have been asked or credited - unless this is someone I wrote to and shared info with years ago? The various photos seem to have been saved to so many trees that it's difficult to work out who they originated from - so I've sent a few messages to see if it's OK to use the pictures.
Pre-empting the permission somewhat - but because I'm so happy to have found this given my comments yesterday, here is a photo of James Nutley's gravestone in the churchyard at Howden le Wear and a photo supposedly of James himself - thanks to abreme (I think I know who this is) on Ancestry.

One tree owner has even found a James Devlin that might be James Nutley in the 1861 census - and the name Devlin does get passed down the line of James' first son. There is an Irish connection, his step mother appears to be lodging with someone from Ireland. Maybe we'll make sense of my mystery yet!
I'll get back to my walk later - just had to share this with the world!
