Childhood

William May was born on 19th January 1861 at the Jolly Bacchus public house at 30 Pembroke Street, Devonport. He was the first child of a publican also named William May and his wife Ann Hutchings, who had married eleven months earlier in Ann's native Crewkerne in Somerset. Young William was baptised when he was a couple of months old at St Stephen's Church in Devonport. The family's next child, Kate, was born two years later at the Jolly Bacchus, after which the family left Devonport and moved to the neighbouring town of Plymouth. In Plymouth, they initially lived at the Portland Inn at 29 James Street.
