Where was May born please?
Its concievable that he was a widow and re-married - another Francis/Fanny or similar. Have you checked Harrys birth cert for MMN?

I have recently found a "5 generations photograph" that appeared in a local paper in 1953 where the oldest person is Mrs F.J. Hyde. I had always assumed she was named Fanny at birth (had a GRO reference that matched this) but prompted by this photo and the fact that my grandfather always called her Frances, I sent for a certificate for Frances Jane Cox and it was indeed her; born 20 July 1865.
When she died later that year in 1953, it was recorded as Frances J Hyde.
SO MY QUESTION IS....can anyone find her in 1901 as either Fanny or Frances Hyde? She certainly wasn't deceased as William appears to suggest ;-)
