Lookup please, Foy family

Legg inn av Bazjaq » 18 des 2007 12:58:11

I believe John Foy b.1844c, his wife Sarah McCallum b.1846c both born in
Ireland, m. 10/8/1865 and lived in Glasgow, Scotland, along with Agnes
b.13/4/1866 their daughter, emigrated to America about 1872. I may have
found them living in Windham, Connecticut with 3 more children on the 1881
census and some of them buried in St Joseph,s cemetery in that town. To
verify that this is the correct family, would some kind soul check for some
clues for me! Using the CastleGarden website I have found an Agnes aged 6 on
the ship 'Australia' on 23/5/1872 destination 7328? but can't find her
parents.
John,s parents are Patrick Foy and Mary Cavanagh. Sarah,s are Joseph
McCallum and Catherine Russell. I have also posted this on Rootsweb.

Thankyou for your time.

Wish I could tell you that the entire Foy family was on the manifest for
the ship Australia with Agnes, but she was the only Foy I saw and also
the only Foy (or anything close) that Ancestry lists. The person
preceding Agnes' name is Mary A. McLaughlin, age 38, and the person
after Agnes is Mrs. J. Peffers, age 24 (or Mrs. I. Poffers??).

As for the Foys in Windham, I found them on the 1900, 1910, and 1920
census. If you don't have this information, maybe it will help.

1900 - family indexed as FAY:
John, age 54. b. May 1846, Ireland, married 33 yrs, immigrated 1868,
dryer/thread mill
Sarah,age 53, b. Feb 1847, Ireland, married 33 yrs, 9 children/5 living,
immigrated 1871
William F. (son), 24, b. Aug 1875, CT, dryer/thread mill
Alier (dau), 18, b. July 1881, CT
Joseph (son), 17, b. May 1883, CT, farmer
Minnie Spencer (grdau), 5, b. Sept 1894 CT

1910:
John Foy, 58, Widower, b. Ireland, immigrated 1867, farmer/general farm
Agnes Spencer (dau), 43, b. Scotland, marriage1, married 16 yrs,
1child/1 living, immigrated 1868
Minnie Spencer (grdau), 15, b. CT
Joseph Foy (son), 25, b. CT, dryer/thread mill

1920:
John Foy, 76, b. Scotland, immigrated 1880
Joseph Foy, 34, b. CT

Obviously with time memories faded as to what year they immigrated.
IMHO (and I'm just guessing here), John immigrated first and then Sarah
and Agnes followed.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Good hunting,
Tony

Thankyou very much, your information gives me a lot of hope that this is
some of my family. Before John left Scotland he was a DYER in a cotton mill
so maybe it was the job that took him to the US. Do the census returns that
you looked at give addresses? sorry to be a nuisance.

It's time for me to get new glasses...John's occupation on the census is
DYER not dryer. Sorry for the error, but that's good news, right?

There's no address on the census pages, but John, John Jr., and William
are in the 1895 city directory living at 36 Ives, I assume in Windham Town.

I can email you the census images, WWI registration cards for Joseph Foy
and William Francis Foy, and the pages out of the city directory. If
you want these images, let me know what email address to use.

You're not a nuisance. I'm glad to help.

Tony,

I would be very happy if you would email me everything you can about the Foy
family.
I tried emailing you direct but it was returned. My email is scott dot foy
at ntlworld dot com.

Thanks again
