hi julie
yes i found that one too the mary 1824 but no joseph so went onto search for joseph in 1861 as he would have been 11/12 years old and thought he may have been visiting but i could.t find him so because i can.t place him with this wm & mary may i.m not sure its the right family all i can tell you is that time of marriage 1873 (joseph) he was living at back hanover street leeds and so was ann gray
do you want me to send you some tablets cos if this blags your head like it has been mine for months you will need them
jacky

Don't know about you 2, but it's a quarter past midnight for me. I'm haveing to correct so many spelling mistakes because I'm to tired to think straight.
I will check back in the morning to see how you are going, Goodnight for now, Julie

In 1861 I have found 2 Mary May's...

Mary Ann May b. abt 1829 Leeds, Yorkshire, England; a Boarder Leeds, Yorkshire
with sons Joseph :-) & Richard :-(

Mary May b. abt 1824 Leeds, Yorkshire, England; Wife of Wm, Leeds, Yorkshire
with lots of children includeing Eliza :-) but no Joseph :-(

Jacky - details please of this marriage you mention:

"I found her marriage to samuel sigston but can not find his farther "

Dea x

i have no idea where he died either i have search and better search but can.t find his death

jacky

he must have died i presume sometime between 1849 & 1864 when mary remarried i.m so sorry i.m not making it any eiser for you

jacky

yes on his marriage cert it states that his dad is william & on his birth cert it states his dad as william & mother mary may formally barrett so went onto find his marriage and then sent for william & marys marriage cert and on it it says that williams dad was john may and he was a stone mason but joseph was defo born leeds 1849

jacky

O.K.

Bit by bit please as I am going round in circles.

When and where did William die?
