I came into possession of the following California death certificate while researching the surname FAY. This person is not related, but hope the info is beneficial to other researchers.

Sarah Lou FAY, Born 16 December 1848 in Missouri. Died 05 April 1933 in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County CA. Buried Santa Rosa CA.

Father: Elliot BLAND of Virginia.
Mother: Virginia CLAY of Tennessee

Quick search turns up the following:

1900 Census Santa Rosa CA.
FAY, Sarah L.; Widowed running a boarding house.
FAY, Wilbur L.; Son single

1880 Census
FAY, Wilbert; Nephew living with Logan VANN

Good luck.
