Research notes for Mae

RE: Mae's name...
Various early census records list her name as Mary, May, or Mae. Most later census records and news articles list her as Mae. He marriage certificate lists her name as Marie De Lourde O'Meara. I don't know what to make of that... I guess I'll be hunting for a birth/baptism record to confirm.
