A Google search brought up this - for whatever it's worth:

" William is said by a family member to have married Maria Joanna (b. May) Giles, but this has been difficult to confirm or to find a trace of her in England or South Africa. "

Probably others...................

There is this grave in Port Elizabeth for a May Appleby who died in September, 1908 - I don't know if that is the one you are after?

She is buried in the same grave as Annie Butler who died in 1919 but I can't read the writing on the gravestone.

It can be seen here:
