Thanks once again Kiltaglassan - I had not found John Joseph born in 1920 - probably because that year's records had not been released when I was looking. He was the first cousin of the John Joseph Hopkins born to Patrick Hopkins in 1909.

There was another Hopkins-Byrne child I'm fairly certain of even though I haven't seen the birth register entry - Martin Francis, 4 Oct 1924 - 20 Apr 1995, who emigrated to Canada (dates from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/93259472/martin-francis-hopkins).
