There is nothing in those records which point to Manchester.
From looking at a couple of trees, with very little information, a sister, Christina Foy, b 1915/6 looks to have married in Lancashire.

I looked these up earlier trying to establish an English link.

A witness to that wedding was Patrick Foy.

Possible marriage with a father Thomas

There are several Foys in the same area but wonder if this is Christopher snr’s birth?

1875 - father Thomas Foy - mother Catherine Coogan

1878 - Thomas - with the same parents (transcribed as Fay)

1901 census - mother Catherine with son Thomas

I am not sure if these are the correct family. I can’t see a birth for Frederick Hamill, the 4 yr old grandson. In 1911, Thomas Foy has a 21 yr old brother, Fredrick  :-\

There still doesn’t seem to be that English connection.

Oh my! Thank you so much, I’m astounded at how you’ve all found so much information, I’m honestly over the    moon and so grateful.
To find out after all this time that my Nan and Grandad are buried in the same cemetery is so nice - it’s a pity that they couldn’t be buried together but to know they’re in the same cemetery is definitely an unexpected and lovely revelation.
You guys are just brilliant, thank you so much x
