May Family Cardiff

[pilandray]

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

Just spotted a death reg but rather further west?

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

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
