Joseph Aloysius Lynn Born about 1877

[nmcasey]

Could some one find birth detail for a "Joseph  Aloysius Lynn" born about 1877 could have been
Cookstown Tyrone.

Father could have been Edward Lynn.

He became a catholic priest he must have been working in the USA he visited a Terence Lynn of
Evishanoran. Terence could have been related  to him.

How did you figure out this is not a catholic priest?
Sacred Heart is a Catholic church-

The cemetery is also Catholic as it clearly says on his findagrave page- "Burial: Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery Chicago"

The Irish civil registration index is online at www.familysearch.org and there's no match for Joseph Aloysius Lynn. However, his middle name could have been acquired upon his confirmation or ordination.

Sticking with the above priest for now, Murnells is a townland in Kildress Parish, Co. Tyrone (Cookstown Poor Law Union/Registration District).
A Dec. 1875 birth could have been registered Oct./Dec.1875 or Jan./Mar.1876.
John Lynn 1875 Cookstown vol. 16 p.477 is only possibility I can see at the moment.
