Christopher Lyne of Lauragh Kerry, d. 21 June 1887 at 232 Fulton St NY; estate to Jeremiah Lyne

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 Gortaguillane 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-deceased 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.

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.
