Summary
A second Annals of Beara entry covering the same Patrick Murphy + Ellen Lyne household, with text very close to (but not identical to) the Vol II p.271 entry. Page numbered "—29—" — different from the Vol II pp.270/271 series, so this may be Volume I, a different edition, or a partial-extract reprinting. Volume confirmation pending — flagged for the user. Verbatim text: > "PATRICK MURPHY & ELLEN LYNE (ARDGROOM VILLAGE). The > position of this house (later a cabin and now knocked down) > was between Jim Murray and Timmy Riney's of Ardgroom Cross. > Patrick Murphy came over 'cliamhain isteach'. He was son of > James Murphy and Mary O'Leary, Eyeries Village. Ellen > Lyne was daughter of Myles Lyne and Margaret O'Shea. The > house belonged to Ellen. Patrick and Ellen had a son James > (July 26th 1883) **who went to Butte, Montana, married and > had a son a priest.**" **Notable variations vs. Vol II p.271**: - "Jim Murray" here vs. "Jim Malvey" on p.271 (likely transcription drift across editions; same neighbor) - **Adds the "had a son a priest" detail** — which is the one phrase that doesn't match what we know about JJM's children. JJM had ONE son (James J. Murphy Jr.) who was married with children, not a priest. The "priest" detail may refer to: (a) A grandson of JJM (= great-grandson of Pat) who became a priest — possible but unverified (b) A misremembering or conflation by O'Dwyer's informant (c) A son of JJM we don't have record of (extremely unlikely given the 1924 school census + 1930 LA census + 1938 obit name only James J. Jr.) Worth following up with the user. Otherwise, this entry corroborates Vol II p.271 on all the load-bearing claims: Pat son of James Murphy + Mary O'Leary of Eyeries Village; Ellen daughter of Myles Lyne + Margaret O'Shea; cliamhain isteach pattern (Pat moved into Ellen's house); son James born 26 July 1883. Preceding entry visible at top of image references "Canfie West, Port Angeles, Pacific Coast" and "Mikie (Aug. 22nd 1907)" — same as the Vol II p.271 preceding family (Jim Malvey + Julia O'Sullivan, whose son John went to Port Angeles).
