Hello there
Does anyone know of the May family from Waterford.
My Mam's mother came from Waterford, she was Francis May married and name became Francis Willis.
But I don't know where she married, Ireland or England. I think she died in 1967 in her 80s I think!.
I do now that my Mam went to school in Scotswood Newcastle upon Tyne, but no idea how long here mam was here from Ireland.
If you know any thing - Thanks,
Paul.

there are a few different May families listed in Co. Waterford on the 1911 census, that could be related, see - May familes - Co. Waterford (http://census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?surname=may&exact=&firstname=&county=Waterford&townland=&ded=&age=&sex=&relationToHead=&religion=&education=&occupation=&marriageStatus=&marriageYears=&childrenBorn=&childrenLiving=&birthplace=&language=&deafdumb=&search=Search&sort=&pageSize=50)

Thanks for that Shane,
I should have said the city of Waterford, I know nothing more then that to be honest!!

Those results include the city area...
you could search the civil index to see if there are any possible matches for Francis' birth - but I dont see anything that fits. See - 2 Minute Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html)
