Family notes (private; from people.yaml)
HIGH-PRIORITY USER REVIEW. The Cork-marriage detail (March 1, 1878) and the specific age / children / dates make this candidate identifiable. Whether THIS Dennis is in the user's family tree is the question — the user's people.yaml has a placeholder Patrick Murphy ancestor but no Dennis. Default family_confidence: 50 (Plausible) per the scale — right name and Cork origin, but date / age / context could fit more than one Dennis Murphy. Promote to 75+ if user confirms tree placement.
