Looking for Foy family, originated from Southern part of Ireland
« on: Monday 19 July 21 16:52 BST (UK) »
This is a long shot but would be grateful if anyone could help.
Two brothers named William and Patrick Foy left Ireland for England in the 1860 s they resided in back to back housing in Warrington, England. They both married. I am trying to find where in Ireland they were born. Can anyone help

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

Can you provide us some more details please? Did they marry in England and what were their wives names? If they married in England, have you viewed either of the brothers' marriage regs to check what name they gave for their father?

Have you found them on the censuses with their families? Most of the time birth place is given as just Ireland, but occasionaly a specific area/place is given on a census.

For example, there is this 1881 census entry:

Patrick Foy 36 farm lab b. Mayo, Ireland
Mary Foy 35 b. Galway, Ireland
Margaret Foy 11
Martin Foy 9
Mary Foy 7

Address: 18 Heaton Square, Warrington

Hi Monica,

I have some details from find my past I will have to try and find their marriage certificates, they were Roman Catholic, I do know that. I did try and search for their marriages but couldn’t find them registered. Maybe they went back to Ireland to marry. I will try and get more information
Thanks for your reply though.

What was the family's religion? Was it RC?

If the above census entry from 1881 is the correct one, there is an RC baptism that might connect:

Patt Foy
Baptism 29 Nov 1845 Mayo, Kilcolman, Ireland
Diocese Tuam
Parents  John Foy and Mary Egan

Hi Monica,

Thank you for that,  I now need to re subscribe to find my past. Spent a lot of hours during Covid researching family tree. Then became too busy but need to get on with it again.

I would like to know if there are any family still around.

There is another Patrick Foy in Warrington. Also from the 1881 census, wife also Mary www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27G-4H97

Main details for the families of Patrick and William would certainly help  ;)

Patt was born in 1841 his wife was called Bridget, their children were William, Mary, Ellen
Address also at Latchford, Warrington

I have found them on English census records but it doesn’t specify where in Ireland they came from, it does state they were born in Ireland and their children born in Warrington
