The James May on this Certificate I think is my G G Grandfather born circa 1848 Bunannadden. His Father I know was named Patrick a Farm Labourer and dead in 1875 on James marriage certificate from the UK. But I cannot find his mothers first name or maiden name because I cant find a birth or baptised entry. Can you help with this please?
4. What does the P.P. mean after James May's name?
Parish Priest
Do you mean the parish priest whom you think was James May and your GG Grandfather?
I don't read the priest's surname as May. There are more than 3 letters. Some are faded. My best guess is Henry. I may be pre-disposed to see Henry as it's a Mayo surname - there were some in my extended family.
Do you have other evidence that your ancestor was a priest?
I suggest you begin a new thread about your GGGF.
Added. I see that you already have a topic about James May.
