Is anyone else researching the May family from Berkhampstead/Northchurch?
Our direct ancestor is William May, b.1829 in Berkhampstead - his father James May, christened in Northchurch in 1799 and his father Henry May, date and location of birth unknown.
We think that Henry might have been married twice, first to Martha Huggins and secondly, Patty ?.
We are stuck beyond this. William moved to Portsmouth, where he joined the Royal Marines Artillery and married Ann Smith. They later moved to West Ham and then Chingford.
Can anyone help please?
Sarah

Hi Rick,
Thanks very much - this is very interesting - he is probably one of ours! Hopefully, we will be able to get far enough back to tie him in with the rest.
Thanks again,
Sarah

Hi Peter,
This is a tremendous step forward - I am really grateful for your help, as we live a long way from Hertfordshire, so it is difficult to do reserch first hand. You have also solved the question of whether Henry had a second wife, the "Patty" may be a transcription error or even a nickname (sourced from the IGI).
Thanks again,
Sarah
