Hi,
I am currently looking for information on William Francis May born 1873 in Plymouth dying in Cardiff, some 73 years later during 1947.
His first wife was Susannah Pyle. He had 3 children with her - Herbert, William & Evelyn.
His second wife was Elizabeth (Betty) and they had a son called Leslie. I think they lived near Roath Park. I am interested in Elizabeth's maiden name and where she was from as I am unable to find a marriage for them.
Thanking you in anticipation,
-
When was Leslie born and where?
Regards
William Russell Jones.

1901 census shows them in Cameron Street in Splott, not very near Roath Park. Going from the ages there, this looks like the death reg for Susannah
Susannah May 53 june qtr 1920 Cardiff vol 11a pg 373
possible remarriage?
William F May june qtr 1922 Cardiff vol 11a pg 737 to Elizabeth A Jones

My husband thinks Leslie was probably born around 1923 - 1928. He died quite young we think and we would like very much to hear of any relatives. Leslies mother Elizabeth was my husbands godparent.

Thank you for the replies,
I think you have the correct family Osprey. Any idea where I might find a birth/death for Leslie please.
best regards

hmm, now that's a good question. I can see a possible birth on FreeBmd
Francis T L May march qtr 1924 Cardiff vol 11a pg 611 mother's maiden name Jones
Just spotted a death reg but rather further west?
Francis T L May aged 27 sept qtr 1951 Cardigan vol 8a pg 170

I can't see a death for the Elizabeth A though in Glamorgan.

William Russell Jones.

Hello, Thank you for that. Spot on . I will get cert just to make sure. His mother Elizabeth we know died in Newquay Wales so perhaps he was living close to her.
Many thanks
-
haven't found a remarriage either.
::)
posts crossed - just off for another look...
-
possible remarriage?
Elizabeth A May march qtr 1961 Cardiganshire Central vol 8a pg 315
& that's the correct registration district for Newquay
:-\

That is her ! She did remarry but my husband can't remember her name when she died. We tried to find her grave in Newquay but could not find a name that 'jogged ' the old memory !
Thank you for all your help.
-
no problem. If you can remember when she died, I can have a look for her death reg which mayd give her date of birth. There's this possible
Elizabeth Anne Richards june qtr 1970 Cardiganshire Central vol 8a pg 880 date of birth 8/4/1885
The marriage cert from 1922 should give details of her father. Otherwise finding an Elizabeth A Jones would be near impossible.

Good Morning Osprey,
Thank you once again for coming up trumps. When I mentioned the name Richards to my husband he recognized it straight away. I have now ordered both certs from the GRO. Do you have marriage registers for the Cardiff area. If so could you please have a look for a Herbert May, William May, and an Evelyn May. They were all children of William Francis May (Francis T. L. May's father) and Susannah Pyle.
Thank you
Best regards

Evelyn May married a Thomas J Taylor in Cardiff in 1920.

There is also a marriage of a William May and a Blanche B Bedford at Cardiff in 1920.

William Russell Jones.

You can check the GRO index online at
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
The registers are with the registrar & the GRO has copies.
