According to this though, the records are at Lancashire Archives but maybe not the years you want. You could try there to check with your dates
https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Warrington/StAlban

There's a printed list of church registers with years of holdings in Lancashire Archives. The list is divided into denominations. An internet search for Lancashire Archives Church Registers should find it. https://archivecat.lancashire.gov.uk

List of churches in Warrington on Lancashire Online Parish Clerks website. Transcriptions of some Warrington church registers are on this website but not Catholic ones yet.
www.lan-opc.org.uk/Warrington/index.html
Using LAN-OPC "Ancestor Search"  for Foy, selecting Warrington, 1890 + or -20 years and a radius of 5 miles gets several marriages (including marriages of Foy widows) + baptism and burial, some at St. Elphin.

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

Was 8c the volume for Warrington?

The records I was looking at, that is the marriages of the two brothers Patrick and (hopefully) William, took place in Warrington. Cheshire BMD http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/. Indicates that they were Civil Marriage  or Registrar attended.
The link I gave for Lancashire Archives is for St Alban and indicates that the relevant years are not available there.

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 😊

Recap of census information.
1861 Patrick & William, lodgers in Warrington (Replies 8 & 9)
1871 Will & wife Bridget. (Reply 16)
A possibility for Patrick, lodging with a Finn family. (Reply 16)
Bridget, Pat's future wife + kids in workhouse, Bridget unmarried. (Reply 19)
1881 Patrick & Bridget, his wife, + William who was a widower. (Reply 13)
Are all the above definitely the correct Patrick, William and Bridgets?
When did Patrick and William die? Someone found a widowed Bridget on a later census, !891? I can't recall which Bridget.*  Did Patrick or William appear on a census later than 1881?

*Added. 1891 census. Bridget, widow. (Reply 17)

Can we rule out Pat Foy in replies 2 & 6?

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

So when you say you are looking....   are you wanting to know about the Foy family in Ireland?  Or are you wanting to find out more of their lives in England?

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.
