Family History Beginners Board / Re: Berry family, near Claremorris, Co. Mayo

Hi

Trying to trace the ancestors or place of birth in Ireland of two brothers who arrived in England around 1860s, names William and Patrick Foy. They possibly came from Mayo. It appears they arrived without parents as young men, early twenties or maybe younger. They lived in rented accommodation in Warrington, England. Not sure how to search further

Hi
Thank you for your reply. If possible, I am wondering if there is any family related to the people I have searched for, still in Ireland.
Anything is useful. I have found a William and a Patrick Foy, quite early on, they both arrived from Ireland in 1860 s and stayed in back to back housing in Warrington.
Any information regarding their lives or families in Ireland would be really appreciated.

Thank you to maiden stone
Yes I think you are correct, I haven’t been able to do much research for a while. Hopefully will get back to it this year.
Just to re cap, I’m looking for William Foy who married Anne Cunningham from warrington, father, who arrived from Ireland with his brother Patrick, all the information is on previous posts.
I’m really grateful for anyone’s help

Thank you in advance for all your help
I’m still searching the Foy family and have now received marriage certificates
Patrick Foy was indeed married to Bridget OBrien, they married at St Albans Chapel in Warrington September 1872, Patrick’s father was also called Patrick but was deceased at the time of the marriage.
Bridgets father was also called Patrick and deceased.
William Foy, Patrick Foys son, married Annie Cunningham in St Mary’s Chapel, 1895, Warrington.
They were all Roman Catholic,
If anyone can help further I would be really grateful 😊

It is registered in Warrington on bmd site as volume 8c

Do you know which parish it was, maybe I could contact them via e mail, just a thought

A lot of the entries are on 8c would this make sense, Patrick’s is on 8c in 1872, or do you think I have just got brain fog

I have sent for some marriage certificates
Patrick Foy and Bridget O Brien. 1872
And also a William foy born circa 1868 married Annie Cunningham in Warrington 1895
