He was born in 1836, the son of William Jolley (1801-1886) and Elizabeth Moore (1800-1857) and baptised on 9 August 1836 in St Alkmund's Church, Derby.

He trained as an architect as a pupil by Thomas Chambers Hine and then went to work for 13 years in the office of Sir George Gilbert Scott in London.[1] He then moved to be an assistant with Robert Evans JP in Eldon Chambers. The partnership of Evans and Jolley was established in 1871 and lasted until 1894.[2]
