I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before or not--but on the 1910 miracode census listings there is a John FAY age 48, born Ireland, living in Philadelphia with wife Bridget, age 46, born Ireland, and children Anna, 22, Catherene, 15, Lathesa, 13, and Mickel 8. The children are all born in PA. Joan
