Hi

Could someone do a look up on John May (would be c 67) with a wife called Catherine. Could be Annan as they had a daughter there in 1904. Looking for kids - have one definite called Samuel who would be 13/14

mmm - this gets me thinking - he seems old to be a dad at 70 but on his MC from 1887 says he is 53.

Thanks in antcipation

His MC (1887) has his parents as John May and Maria (I think) McCallum and age is 53 in 1887.

stupid question - what do you use - is it Ancestory?

Apols - you have opened the door and created a mystery - must be a transcription error on the 1887 MC - which has as being 53 - must be a 3 so that makes him 33!!!!

Could i trouble you for 1911 to see if there were any more births other than the 1904 birth - Edith

Sorry again! Ancestry doesn't have the 1911 for Scotland as yet. (You need Scotland's Pople.)

I think it must be 33 on the marriage cert!
