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. Bazjaq -- www.bazjaq.tribalpages.com password = hamishdog

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
