William May was born in Ontario on
April 5, 1808 to John May and Dorothy Hainer. (even though the photo says 1803, all other documents say 1808.) John and Dorothy had seven
children; George (1802), Hannah (1804), Magdelan(1805), William
(1808), Sarah (1810), Elizabeth (1812).
William May married Anna
Schram on February 15, 1827 in Lincoln, Ontario. William and Anna had
five children; John(1828), Andrew W,. (1829), George (1831), Charles

In the 1871 Census, William , Anna and
John are living in the St Catharines, Lincoln, Ontario. William's
occupations is as Hotel Keeper in the census and on his death
certificate. In the Census Record they have three people living with
them; Fredrick Smith, age 28, a servant from England, Joseph Linda, age

William died on April 26, 1875. According to his death record, he died
of dropsy, which today would be congestive heart failure but back in
this time frame it was often used as a common explanation for a
death of unknown cause. I have not been
able to identify where he is buried. Ill keep looking and post if I
find it.
Rest in Peace,
Jan
