Family (blood)
- mother of Christopher Lyne (b. c. 1882–84 Co. Kerry; Butte copper miner; "cousin" in Ellen Murphy's household 1910; Walkerville 1912)60The 1901 form gives Christopher, 19, as her son (95 for that boy). That he is the Butte copper miner of 1910 and the man of the 1912 insanity complaint is Luke's merge. Luke merged the 1901 son into this record on 3 Oct 2026 ('merge the chris lynes'); Claude's estimate then was 60 that the 1901 son is the Butte man (ages 19 and 26 nine years apart; Christopher is a repeated name among Kerry Lynes). Nothing found on 4 Oct changes it. · 1901-03-31 — Census of Ireland 1901
