Hi Shirley, That was quick work! How are you related to the May family? Charles Colmer May was the brother of my father, Leonard Joseph. He married Vida Maud Sargent and they went to Canada and while there their twins, Doris and Doreen were born in August 1931. They later returned to this country and unfortunately were at Vida's parents home in Bodmin, Cornwall when the bomb struck the shelter in the garden. Doris and her mother were killed and Dornee suffered injuries to her leg. She stayed with me and my mother for quite a while - can't remember how long. She then joined her father who later married again and moved to Gillingham, Kent. I found a copy of C C May's Will and got her married name from that. She came to visit me in 1960 with her daughter, Michaelle, who was about 2 year old. Unfortunately I omitted to get any address from her and we lost touch. I have been trying to find her on and off ever since. I still do not know if she is still alive or where she lives. The will gives Michaelle's married name as Hosking and she married Peter in 1977 in Kent. I have no further information. Do you ? Look forward to hearing from you. Wendy

Hi ErikaH, The twins Doris and Doreen were born in Canada. How do you know anything about the May family? Charles Colmer May was the brother of my father, Leonard Joseph. When they came back from Canada they lived with Charles' parents Joseph Trembath May and his wife Bessie Colmer May. Look forward to hearing from you. Wendy

Wendy - the people who have posted on your thread are 'helpers' and also subscribing members of GR. With most of their own research completed, they like to use their expertise to help others with their research.
You could try using the Search all members trees - top right under Search- to see if any of the May names are in anyone else's tree. If they are, send a message via the 'find out more' button to ask how closely related they are.

Will PM Peter's address to 2018. Its possible that he'd be willing to put you in touch with Michaelle. Their previous home was sold in 2008.
The other occupant is indeed their son. They also have a daughter. If she's married after 2006, it won't be possible to trace her current surname.
