Hello
I have 2 Mays in my family tree. Nina May born circa 1910 married Leslie Cook, son of my aunt Rosa (née Child). Gladys May (c 1915) married Charles Child. He was originally Charles Dixon whose father was the first husband of Annie Shorter. Annie later married my uncle Charles Child, and her 2 sons took the surname Child. But I don't know anything else about Nina or Gladys, whether they were any relation to William May, or even if they were related to each other.
The Child family lived in and around Swindon, but both Charles Edward Child and Ellen Child (née Easden) - my grandparents - came originally from High Wycombe.
I'm a Charles Child too, but go by my middle name of Allan.

I am trying to find relatives of William May born Canning Town, London in 1886. His parents were James and Sarah Ann May. They lived in East Cowes, Isle of Wight and later in Poole, Dorset.
Can anyone help?
