    Hi rhapsody
    how are you getting on with the search for the Fay's ?
    Saw this and thought you might be interested. A Prison record for Thomas Fay 26 Jane Place from 1912.
    https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KM7M-G43
    There is another record for the same ofence for his cousin Bernard (John's son) also of 26 Jane Place. (they were let off with a caution)
    You can see that Thomas gives his Next of Kin as Brother James. But, on the other record, Bernard gives his Next of Kin as Father John. So I think more proof that John is Thomas's uncle. Also I notice he gives Place of Birth as 'Henry Pl Off Henry St' and a search on Irishgenealogy shows another sister for him a Christina born 1890 -

    plus a bunch of other Fays all living cheek to jowel at Henry Place.

    Looking back at what I'd written before I noticed that Thomas gave an address of 1 Up Oriel Street when he signed up in 1911. That should have rung a bell with me because I know his sister Mary and her family lived at 6 Up Oriel Street in the 1920's and 1930's and then moved to number 24.
    She died there in 1961.
    Anyway looking at the 1901 census shows a William Fay born Louth living there.
    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Dublin/North_Dock/Oriel_St__Upper/12619/
    A brother for John and James ?
    More questions than answers :) but throwing a few more names in the pot might help the search back to the Louth/Meath Fays.

    Hello again :) I haven't gotten far on this side of the family, ended up doing loads on another branch who are based on the other side of the county!
    That prison record is interesting, I can't read all of the detail you've referred to- I guess you're subscribed to Roots Ireland? A nice bit of detail, when so often it's just B-M-D and census records.

    & Yes, the William you linked to is indeed James & John's brother (well I dont have birth records for anyone on this level but I'm fairly sure). Thomas was staying with him & wife Margaret (known as "Chuckie" apparently!) in 1901, their nephew. By the way, there's another sibling on this level too- Margaret.

    A few more names are very welcome!

    The James that Mollymoo19 mentioned, I take it that's Thomas' brother? The details for his wife would fit with his age- though I'm only working from the census & the details you've given, I dont have a birth record for him.

    Glad you found some family on here!

    Just to update a little, I've been looking at Thomas' sister Christina. Having not found any likely options for her in either census, I went for death certs. According to the Irish Genealogy link, Christina was born in December 1890. On the LDS site, there are matching references for a Christina Fay & a Mary Anne Fay (her mother's name) dying in early 1891 :(
    I'll hopefully get the certs soon & see if these are my people. That would certainly explain why Thomas and his siblings are scattered in the censuses.

    Another update to this, I got Mary Anne Fay & Christina Fay's death certs today.
    (I also went with matching references to get the marriage cert for Mary Anne's sister in law & brother in law; the names were indeed on the same page but didn't marry eachother. Very frustrating & it's the second time it's happened! And both were Fay marriages!! :mad: )

    Anyway, as adee suggested, it looks like Mary Anne Fay, mother of the Thomas & Christina we've mentioned here as well as four others, died of 'heart disease hypostatic congestion of lungs 9 months'. Her daughter Christina died four days earlier (aged 9 months), 'convulsions 3 days'. Very sad :(

    Now for the question! What graveyard would they be in? They both died from Henry Place, Dublin 1. All I can find for northside Dublin is Glasnevin, is there somewhere else I should be looking?

    EDIT: Just looked up Glasnevin Cemetery for the first time, Mary & Christina are both there though Christina is listed as 2 months old rather than 9; Mary's age is correct. They seem to be in separate graves, since they're not indicated as being in the same grave in the search results. I must take a visit.
