Fanny May born Inkpen 1860 - Help please.

[Roaming Grannie]

My Great Grandmother Fanny May born about April 1860
appears on the 1861/71/81 Census living in Inkpen.  Can
anyone look at the 1891 or 1901 Census and tell me if there
is any trace of her?  She was 21 in 1881, so it is possible she
may have married.  However, having searched for many years I can find no trace.  Any assistance would be very much
appreciated.

Hi Roaming Grannie,

FreeBMD has a possible marriage:

Fanny May   Jun 1888  Henley  3a  961

possible groom:  Walter Harry Hyde  or  Alfred Towner


Nanny Jan

I looked at that one nanny Jan - and it looks like Fanny May married Walter Harry Hyde -but it also looks like it's the wrong Fanny may!
1891
Reading berks
Walter H Hyde Head M 32 Telephone co foreman Westminster Middlsex
Fanny wife 28 Green? Oxon
May daughter 2 Reading Berks
RG12 994 101 27

there is a 19 yr old Fanny may in 1881 b. henley Oxford

and in 1901 Fanny Hyde (nee may) gives her p.o.b. as henley

There is also a birth reg for Fanny may in Henley

so it doesn't look very promising

Thanks to Nanny Jan & Suz for their effort.  I know for sure
Fanny May was with her family in Inkpen on the 1881 Census
with her parents John & Emma May as well as siblings and
her Daughter Emily (my Grandmother) age 2.  She was still
unmarried at that time.  I had hoped to find her on the 1891
Census when my Grandmother Emily would be 12, but no
luck on that.  Also, I have found Emma on the 1891 Census
but not John with a note saying "husband not at home when
Census was taken".  My Grandmother Emily married in
1896 at Inkpen so I had assumed Fanny would also be there.  I hope this further information may be of some help.
Thanks again.

There's this one with a slightly different spelling:

Fannie May
Hungerford Sept 1886
2c 423

Unfortunately, no other names are transcribed for the reference, so it's either wait and see, or maybe put in a request for the cert with a reference check on father's name or something. Or maybe we can rule her out by finding another Fanny in Hungerford.

Hi,

I found this family in 1891,


RG12/971  f.53  p.10  Inkpen
Gt Common

Oliver GREEN      Head  25  General Labourer  Berks Bucklebury
Fanny              Wife   28                             Berks Inkpen
Ada Fanny          Daur   4                               "  "      "  "
Patience Ethel    Daur    1                              "  "      "  "


Looking at the images at findmypast there is this, which matches the marriage details found by dilly,

Oliver GREEN    Sep Q 1886    Hungerford  2c  423


but Emily is not with them and I think this Fanny/ie could be,

Fanny MAY  Dec Q 1862  Hungerford  2c  216

who in 1871 is age 9 with parents Job and Mary.

Dilly & Daisy,
Sincere thanks for your effort.  My May tree is large and Fanny is unfortunately not an uncommon name.  Fanny who
married Oliver Green was the Daughter of Job May and Mary
Swadling.  The Fanny I am looking for was the Daughter of
John May and Emma Franklin.  I have that information with
regard to the 1891 Census.  What surprises me is the fact
that I am unable to find my Grandmother Emily May, who would be 12 in 1891.  Of course, I know young girls as young as 12 often went out to service, but I would have
thought that by 1891 Emily would have been in school.
I am hopeful that someone will find Emily and that her Mother Fanny will not be far off.
