Mayo or Maye?

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

I initially thought Mayo, but the baptisms for her children have her down as May, which might mean the surname is in fact Maye.

I’d appreciate any help!

It's clearly Maye

Thanks! I wasn’t sure if it was just the way ‘o’ was written.

I must say that I had never heard of the name Maye but the Internet has:

Maye is a somewhat popular first name for females. Internet.

Spellchecker allowed the name without the need for correction.

Apparently it’s a surname found in Ireland, as Julia’s children were all christened as Catholics, and her husband’s surname was Sands.
