William James May I of Twillingate Newfoundland Records Destroyed IN Fire I Am Looking for Help IN Finding Who His Parents Were and Where from I Am...
William James MAY Of Twillingate, Newfoundland was married to Sarah Matilda Elliott, also from Twillingate. They had a son named William James May. There may be others by the same name in England, Scotland, or Ireland. I don't know the name of my Great Great Grandfather. Can any one help. He may have been born in Newfoundland, but I can't find any records. I live in Texas, where my Grandfather. Levi John MAY, and my motheR, Margaret Susie MAY, emigrated, after the death of my Grandmother, Mary Maud THOMAS. Thank you for any help.
Since many records were lost in church fires and many people were known by there second names, some assumptions have to be made.
William James May is most likely the son of William Thomas May(known as Thomas) and his first wife Elizabeth. Born in Twillingate. I am descended from Thomas and his third wife Julia.
William Thomas May(born in 1821 in Twillingate) was the son of William and Clara May.
William (of William and Clara) was the son of fisherman William May in Twillingate in 1804 and most likely from southern England (the name William May shows in Plymouth at that time).
