Summary

Page from the published Irish Probate Calendar 1905, listing administrations and probates granted in 1905 for estates of earlier deaths. Among the Lyne entries on page 277: **LYNE Christopher** [59] 1 February — Administration of the estate of **Christopher Lyne** late of **Lauragh, Kenmare County Kerry**, Farmer, **died 21 June 1887 at 232 Fulton- street, New York USA**, granted at Dublin to **Jeremiah Lyne** Farmer. Effects £36. Two other Lyne entries on the same page: - **LYNE Hanoria** [106] 31 July — Hanoria Lyne late of High- street Killarney Kerry, Widow, d. 25 April 1905, granted at Cork to Michael Lyne Cattle Dealer, Effects £290. - **LYNE Michael** [61] 2 May — Michael Lyne of Gortagullane County Kerry Farmer, d. 25 January 1897, granted at Cork to Ellen Lyne the Widow, Effects £31 10s. KEY FINDING: Christopher Lyne emigrated to New York from Lauragh, Kenmare (a Kerry-side Beara-area locality), died there in 1887. His Irish estate was granted to a Jeremiah Lyne (Farmer) — DIFFERENT Jeremiah from the 1865 Jeremiah Lyne who was JJM's maternal great-grandfather (per the 1865 Myles Lyne + Margaret Shea marriage cert). This 1887 Jeremiah is likely a son or nephew of the earlier Jeremiah — the Lyne clan repeats given names across generations. Lauragh, Kenmare, Co. Kerry — same broader Beara-area Lyne network as JJM's mother Ellen Lyne (from the Cork side of the peninsula). The 1901 Mary + Christopher Lyne Co. Kerry census household (filed at 1901-03-31_census-ireland-co-kerry_mary-lyne-household) is likely from the same wider Lyne clan.

--- newspaper: Printed probate calendar, grants of probate and administration in Ireland, year 1905 (not a newspaper): a photograph of two facing pages, numbered 276 and 277, each headed "1905." and running from LYNCH to LYONS; the volume title is not visible on these two pages date: 1905 (the year printed at the head of each page; the grants on the spread are dated 9 January to 27 November 1905; the Christopher Lyne grant is dated 1 February 1905 and records a death on 21 June 1887) page: pp. 276 (left) and 277 (right), one open-book spread; printer's signature mark "4 B" at the foot of p. 277; the three LYNE entries are all on p. 277 transcribed_by: claude-sonnet-5-5 (Claude Code subagent), 2026-10-04 method: the PDF holds one 8-bit greyscale JPEG of 5688 x 3928 px (a photograph of the open volume, with the table edge and the curl of the pages visible; embedded at a nominal 72 ppi). Rasterising the page at 300 dpi would give 23,700 x 16,400 px and only resample that image, so the native image was extracted with pdfimages and used instead. Each page was cut into four horizontal bands and each band into two overlapping halves, upscaled 1.7x (LANCZOS) with a contrast stretch; the three Lyne entries and about twenty place names were re-cut at 2.6x to 7x. The print is a clear slab-serif face that sets the name of the deceased, the county, the date of death and the place of grant in bold; the bold is not reproduced here. Every entry is printed in a hanging layout (surname and first name at the left margin, bracketed number, date of grant, then the text); the printed line breaks are shown as " / ". Capitals in the surname heads are as printed. proofed_by: claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-04 --- # 1905. pp. 276 and 277 ## Left page (p. 276) 1905.

Open questions

  • Relationship of THIS Christopher Lyne (d. 1887 NY) and Jeremiah Lyne (1887 estate grantee) to JJM's maternal Lyne line. The Lauragh-Kenmare Lyne cluster is the Kerry-side counterpart of the Ardgroom-Cork Lynes (Ellen Lyne Murphy's family). Likely a wider clan with multiple branches; specific kinship lines would need the Annals of Beara to resolve.
