It sounds like Cockney version of Poppy, derived from farver, father. I cannot find any reference to the word "Farvey" in any of my online Brit-Slang or English Idiom dictionaries! I'd think from the sound of it that the word is a corruption of the word "father" - like some kids call their grandfather Pa-Pa or Paw-Paw.
