Rebecca MAY (1777-1858)

Rebecca MAY,¹ daughter of John MAY (bap.1747, d.1829) and Elisabeth ANDREW (bap.1747, d.1835), was born on 4 November 1777 in Tregony, Cornwall.^1,2 Her relationship to John is Paternal Great ( x3 ) Grandmother. Rebecca married Charles BURLEY on 1 June 1796 in Tregony.^1,2

she died (aged 80) on 10 October 1858 in Tregony.^1,2

Some records indicate her family name as Mayse rather than May.

Charles BURLEY¹ was the son of Charles BURLEY (1743-1826) and Catherine PERRYMAN (1745-1815).

According to researcher Julie, the Charles Burley who married Rebecca May in 1796 was the illegitimate son of Dorothy Netten, baptised in 1768, not the son of Charles and Catherine (nee Perryman). Further research is required.³

Charles BURLEY and Rebecca MAY had the following children:

	Elisabeth BURLEY (1797?- )
	John BURLEY (bef1803-1870)
	Charles BURLEY (1806-1875)

The Charles who was the son of Charles & Catherine (nee Perryman), died in Plymouth, Devon, a long way from Tregony ! Kind regards, Julie"
