  • Jason,

    I have a couple of questions-

    Do you know John's wife name?

    What are the names of Michael's siblings, birthdates if you have?

    Did Michael and family stay in Ireland? If not, where did they go?

    Who did Michael marry? When? Where? 

    What were their children's names When and where were they born?

    When and where did Michael die?

    Regards- Mary

  • Jason,

    Just to help other volunteers who research your family. On Irishgenealogy, free website, Michael died in Woodstock in 1906, age 80. His son Thomas was in attendance.

    Bridget Fahey died in 1908, age 75, in Woodstock. Daughter Kate was in attendance.

    4541162.pdf (irishgenealogy.ie)

    Per RootsIreland (paid subscription) a Thomas Fahey was born in Woodstock in 1865 to Michael Fahey and Bridget Kenny. Maybe your Michael's wife??

    Jason, are you sure Michael's father's name was John?

  • Jason,

    Per RootsIreland, there was a John Fahey who married Bridget Roche in 1828 in Kilcoman RC Parish.

    Thomas Fahey, Michael and Bridget's son, married Margaret Maguire in February1899 in Ballindine (Civil Record), February 1898 (Church Record). They had three children- Patrick 1900, John 1901, Mary Delia 1903.

    Probably Michael and Bridget's daughter Kate who was with Bridget when she died. She married a Fahey in 1895.

  • Jason,

    I was not able to find any more information about John and Bridget and can't guarantee they are Michael's parents.
