Lincolnshire / May / Tuplin Kirton in Lindsey
« on: Tuesday 25 February 14 19:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hey there peeps,
 
      I was wondering if anyone has any info on the May family from Kirton. Richard and Ann (Parish) May had 3 children Sarah Ann , Eliza (1850) and Richard. Now, in the 1971 census there was a little Eliza(1867) living with her grandma and granddad (Richard and Ann) and gave nothing on her parentage so Im guessing one of the two 'aunties' was her mum.... anyway, lots of flicking over Kirton Parish records (Lincs to the past  ;D) and I find little Eliza's bap record 29th Dec 1867 ( http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=547433&iid=406428 )stating Eliza as her mother.
Sadly, I  Eliza died at 17 probably after giving birth to Eliza or maybe complications after the birth. She was was buried 3 months before Eliza's baptism on  17 Sept 1867 aged just 17  ( http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=512325&iid=406941 ) Bless x
 
Little Eliza went on to grow up and marry a William Tuplin. The  last name May is a family middle name now and I like to think its in honour of my great great great grandma Eliza x
