FreeBMD shows two Bernard May born around same time:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Dec 1859 (>99%)
MAY Bernard Liverpool 8b 62
MAY Bernard Liverpool 8b 58

I do think the Burnet should be Bernard.

I'm not getting the uncle/nephew thing - there would have been two brothers called Bernard? Catherine couldn't be the other Bernard's sister because May is her married name.

How did you find them both?

Yes,thanks this is the one. Are they related? Is Burnet a contraction of Bernard?

Is this the 1889 Bernard you refer to?

MAY, Burnet Head Married M 31 1860 Mariner Liverpool Lancashire
MAY, Catherine Wife Married F 28 1863 Liverpool Lancashire
MAY, Bernard Son M 2 1889 Liverpool Lancashire

Thank you for listing the census info

thought they might be uncle/ nephew?

Christine, in what way do you suspect they may be related?

This is the 1891 with Bernard & Mary, for reference:

MAY, Margaret Daughter F 4 1887 Scholar Ireland
