May of Waterford
« on: Monday 22 March 10 12:37 GMT (UK) »
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

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
