Hello,
Yes, "May" was also called Mary. She was christened Ann Garland in Wales. She
had an older sister christened "Mary Ann" who died in infancy, also in Wales.
Family documents that I obtained from my husband's grandmother referred to her as May
as does her marriage certificate to J.C. Stark in Vanderburgh County. She is also listed
as May Garland in earlier city directories; a "domestic."
Rather confusing, but her older brother was christened "Albert" in Wales; he
went by A. George Garland, George A. Garland, George Albert Garland, and simply George
Garland in records I have located.
Other "nicknames" in the family seem more obvious; ie brother Henry was also
Harry.
Robin
