The youngest of their eight children: Bunny (1938), Willy(1939), Susie (1941), Mary (1943), Martha (1946), Katy (1947), Ginny(1950), Johnny (1954). Our father William Jerome Fay, Sr. was born (Fahey) in Northampton, Mass. July 27, 1909 - the third child, second son of Dr. James & Clara Fahey. He married Margaret Celestine Waters on September 11, 1937 at Our Lady of Mercy's Church 2496 Marion Avenue, Fordham, Bronx, New York City, New York. If I may say so he was a remarkable human being, who engendered laughter & conviviality as easily as he'd drive his Austin Healy along Hollyridge Drive. We all loved him very much, & our mother, too, who found herself a single mom at 57 with eight dependents. I've always thought our family a story worth telling. Let me know if I can help you with further research. As of this writing only one of my siblings - Susie - has died.John Hartley Faheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473437251054410232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-36002742731000263232021-07-15T14:46:02.122-07:002021-07-15T14:46:02.122-07:00Thanks very much for your help!

His daughter, Martha, was a friend of mine in elementary school and was later the long-term companion of Loudon Wainwright Sr. If it is the same, I am sure you could locate Martha, who has authored some books.
