Hi Bev, Sorry, I did not got to this sooner but it was a little difficult to find. FARDY An old Wexford name formerly numerous in the barony of Bargy. Probably a variant spelling of the English "FARADAY." Ref: "The SURNAMES of IRELAND by MacLYSAGHT You didn't mention if the FARRIDAY Family you are researching were Irish or English but either way you have both spellings! :) Helen M.
