Welcome to rootschat  :)

The marriage image for St Leonards, Deal looks like Henrietta Mayled.  The name where the signature (x) is written which is a mess is Maxted.    I can see why it has been transcribed as May, the x does look like a y.

The banns entries are for Haxted.

FindMyPast are showing two records, one for May & one Maxted.

Family search shows Maxted.
