Hi Victoria,

I have just been looking at your earlier posts and trying to get clues.
Luke Burke who married Mary Foy/Mooney came from Mayo.

I can see Ellen Foy Roche born Roscommon.

I haven't followed any of the others but wonder have you done so? Where do you get Mayo from as the origins of Patrick and Mary?

The problem is that their birth dates are before civil legislation in Ireland

Hi Heywood. I got information from a relative of Martin Foy who was the brother of Ellen Foy.

I hope this works.

Hello, that's the one I read and it sounds very exciting for you.

I think there is some census info which also says Mayo for some family members. It is just the one where Ellen is born Roscommon that is confusing.
It may be that she was born near to Mayo/Roscommon border.

As your family were born pre-1864 records you would need parish records adn knowledge of townland/area.

Here is some information for you:

There are also some resources for Mayo on this forum.

I know you are getting info now from your new relation  but do you have Patrick's death?
I wondered if this is him buried in Ford Cemetery?

7th August 1864 Patrick Foy 36 yrs  2 Ct  Collingwood Street

Collingwood St figures quite a bit so it looks very promising

Where does the information come from re Patrick's father being Daniel?

By the way in 1871 Luke and Mary Burke are at 5 house 9 court Collingwood Street

I saw the surname Foy many places when I visited Co Mayo a few years ago.
My relatives are from the same area, a Dominic(k) Roach/Roache/Roch and Bridget Mulloy who married in Killedan.
Any connection there?

Thank you so much. I searched for death record for Patrick Foy but was unsuccessful. So far I have not found any Irish records for Roche/Roach family. I need to get a sub to search records. My relative informed me that Daniel was father of Patrick, awaiting her reply hopefully for more records.
