Hi Lee...There are 2 John Fay's on the 1881 census (online) that might fit yours..
John Fay 39 B. Manchester. Gen Lab.
Mary A (wife) 37
Alice A (dau)3
on 14 Back Ann St. Hulme.
--------------------------------------
John Henry Fay.36 Sailor. B. Liverpool.
Hannah (wife) 34
Charles Edward (8)
Alfred (6)
Hannah(3)
Elizabeth(1)
At 19 Cooper St , Salford.
---------------------------------------------------
The names of the children might help narrow the search..

All the damaged parts of the 1851 census for Salford Greengate, Salford Regent Road and Pendleton and Pendlebury have been published on CD by the Manchester & Lancs FHS. They are available from their on-line bookshop at www.mlfhs.org.uk.
Good hunting!

On the Greengate disc, the only Fay is:
32 Durham St
Bridget Fay Head widow 54 Laundress b Ireland
Catherine Wild Lodger Un 60 Hank Winder b Lancashire Manchester
Mitchell Hapson Lodger 24 Bookbinder jyman b Ireland
(HO107 2223 p263 Sched 105)
On the Pendleton/Pendlebury disc there are no Fays. I've looked for similar names (bearing in mind the damaged entries would be difficult to read) and found a 3 year old John Fox (Parents Thomas & Eliza, brothers James and Joseph, living in Booth St). I can give you full details of this if you are interested.
