James May b 1848 Bunnannadden

[liqnov]

Good Evening,
I am researching my G G Grandfather James May b 1848 in Bunannadden. I know this because on the 1921 UK Census it tells so. I also know that James's father was Patrick May and was deceased in 1875 but I dont know the year he died. I cannot find a baptism or birth certificate that would give me James mothers forename and maiden name. Can anyone help me please?
Regards

Do you have James May on other censuses? If so, can you give details please.

Did James marry? If so, do you have his marriage certificate giving details of his
father Patrick’s occupation

Good evening,
I have James May only on the UK Census of 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911 & 1921 not on any Irish Census. He did marry in 1875 in Sheffield, UK and his Fathers occupation is "Farm Labourer"
Hope that helps but happy to elaborate if required
Regards

Just a very speculative possibility...

Kilmactigue RC parish, 4 September 1849, a James Maye was baptised for parents Patrick Maye and Nancy Ginty, the address was 'Curroughboy', possibly meaning the townland of Curraghboy, which borders a townland called Banada (8th entry down):

There is also a place called Bunnanadd(a/e)n in the townland of Ballynaraw South, also a possibility?

There is this marriage for James ‘Meary’ (signature looks like Meay) of Curroughboy

England and Wales census - not UK for 1921. Scotland's 1921 comes out later in 2022.

I can see that James May gives Mayo as his birthplace in 1911. The index for 1921 shows Mayo.

Does the image from 1921 show Bunannadden?

There is a published tree which shows this 1851 extract
