FOY Family History
This interesting surname has a number of possible origins. Firstly it may derive from the Old French "foi" or Latin "fides" meaning faith, and would have originated as a nickname for either a pious person or for someone who frequently used this term in oaths. It may also be metronymic from the medieval female given name Foy (Faith), one of the earliest known namebearers being Saint Foy, who was martyred in 303. St. Faith's Chapel in Westminster Abbey still shows an interesting wall-painting of its patron, one of the oldest paintings in the country.Select Audience

in? 1901. My father Joseph P Foy Sr was born at home in 1908.
My mother was a mixed 2nd Gen Irish Mother whose maternal grandmother was the daughter of 1st gen Irish Sweeneys from Donegal and the Bells from Ulster and Scotland. Yep, one green and one was orange as in the song.
