I am searching for details of the family of John Foody & his wife Catherine, I believe John was born abt 1794 possibly Kilgarven Co Mayo. His children were Miles Foody b abt 1837 Jane abt 1847 and I believe there were 6 further sons. The family came to England prior 1865 living in the Durham area, predominately Barnard Castle.
Thank you.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and there were no Foody baptismal records that fit your family details. The earliest Foody baptismal record with parents John and Catherine.was in 1856. Likely your Foody ancestors were baptized in a parish that does not have records back to the 1830s/1840s.
From reviewing the Griffiths Valuation data from the mid-19th century, almost all of the Foody/Fudy households were in Co. Mayo or Castleconor parish in Co. Sligo.
Let me know if you have any questions.
