Bob,
I am descended from a brother of your Elizabeth May (nee Bedggood), whose name was George.
I dare say that you know that six of Elizabeth's siblings came to Australia to live (and die), although her youngest brother Josiah later went to New Zealand and met up with his cousins there before passing away in 1911.
I know next to nothing about the Mays in SA but I do hve a copy of Elizabeth, Charles and Josiah Mays birth certificates.
I would like to share the history of the 1850's if you wish, but I have no yearnings to try and learn all of the May clan in SA. However, the connection and arrival of so many from the one family coming to Australia is of interest to me.
Lets see where we get to.
Alan
