Sandra,

What was May's age on marriage please?

Carole, got your message alert, thanks, that helps a lot! although I had my doubts, just throwing in the only possibles for the area for the era for comparison.

Don't think it's our May (unless there as a relative), head & wife look to be Robert 44 & Elizabeth 43 with other kids?;

Apart from the 1921 marriage - there appears to be nothing else that ties up here.

Why did you go searching passenger lists - you must have had a reason? 

You say that by 1927 they had 3 children but your mother wasn't born until 1936 - were there other children born between 1927-1935?

When and where did May die as there is no May McLaughlan death linking to a 1900 birthyear
