Born abt. 1843 the first record that is certainly him is a census in 1861 St George, Charlotte, New Brunswick where he and his future wife Annie Ash worked on the farm of Samual and Charles Johnson.  They were married in 1862 and Ellen was born shortly thereafter.  He is found in the 1871 census but not the 1881 census.  My great great grandmother was either his last daughter (so the records say) or first grand daughter (so I think).  Annie Bertha Fahy was born 1880 and emigrated to Bangor, Maine, 1900, where she married Chester Clark Jr. 1n 1901.  I suspect Annie Bertha was Ellen's daughter by James Hornibrook of Cork after they worked a farm in Calais, Maine together in 1880 US census.  Ellen and Bertha are in the 1881 St George census...

John fits well the entry in Poor, "Ignorant Children": "A Great Resource," The Saint John Emigrant Orphan Asylum Admittance Ledger in Context, Peter Douglas Murphy, Master's Thesis, Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sept. 1997:

III Mary (40)- Mary (15), Thomas (6) and John Fahey (4), natives of County Galway and passengers on the Sea. were admitted to the Emigrant Hospital, with fever, on 14 October 1847. Thomas was discharged on 4 November. John was discharged on 24 November 1847 (Al ff. 122 and 132).

Another note in the Thesis claims that their father (no name given) was already in Boston.
