Faheys in Roscommon town
Hi my grandad is William Fahey born 21/5/1883 in Roscommon to Thomas Fahey 1846-1928
and Mary Morris 1849-1932. His first wife Mary/Moira Doyle died in the workhouse in
Roscommon 24/7/1910. William died in Manchester on 4/1/1960. He married Sophia Crozier.
My mother is Margaret Francis Fahey one of 10 children. I have been unable to trace
any details about Timothi Fahy and Anna Brown my gg grandparents. As far as I can trace
most of my grandads family moved to Manchester but I'm interested to know if any of
his brothers or sisters remained in Roscommon town . It appears from my research
that there seemed to be quite a few Faheys all living on Abbey Street Goff Street
and Henry Street. It would great to know if I have any relatives still living in
Roscommon.
I will be coming over in August 2026 so would like to come over with as much
information as possible and it would be really appreciated to meet up with any
local volunteers to assist.I will also be visiting Bawnyboy as I have relatives
who came from there on my paternal side some of whom are buried on St Mogues
island so Ill be timing the visit to coincide with the Community Day in early
August Any information would be greatly appreciated.
