He was born the eldest son of Sir James May, 1st Baronet of Mayfield and privately educated before entering Trinity College, Dublin and studying law at the Middle Temple in London, where he was called to the bar in 1789. He succeeded his father to the baronetcy in 1811. He was appointed High Sheriff of Waterford for 1781–82. He was an MP in the Parliament of Ireland in 1800, the last parliament before the Union of Great Britain and Ireland. He continued afterwards as the member for Belfast in the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1814. He also served as Sovereign of Belfast (an earlier title for the mayor) from 1803 to 1806 and 1809 to 1810. He married twice and had 2 illegitimate sons and 2 daughters. He was accordingly succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother Humphrey. An illegitimate daughter Anna married the Marquess of Donegall.
