I am trying to find information about my family. Robert May was born about 1839 but all the 1901 census says is 'born County Antrim' His father's Name was Thomas May - a farmer. Robert became a school master and married a Martha Williams in 1867. Her father was James Williams-also a farmer. Martha was living in Armagh at the time of their marriage and Robert May in Mayboy.
Any information would be appreciated.
