You have laid the problems out well.
This is an interesting though very confusing thread 
I have done a wee timeline as I was getting lost & the sums are not adding up for me either

Bartholomew Doosey married Maria Hurley 15 the April 1875 kinsway
Just to add to this, I can't find any place in Co. Waterford called Kinsway.
I can't find this marriage in the area the Dooceys were living or any where else in Ireland.
Then……
Maurice Hurley witnessed Bartholomew Doocey s death in 1894 but Brigid has him dying 1900 (from somewhere) & there's another mention he died 1891.
Bartholomew died...
1891
1894
1900
Are the dates all referring to the same man?
Maurice would have been 13 yrs old (would a 13 yr old do this)?
Then Mary (1st wife) dies 1900
My guess is it has to be different families but there's no mention of ages supporting 3 deaths for Bartholomew i.e. that needs investigated & were these deaths all in the same area or spread?
I must have missed the 1900 death, I'd have to read back to find it.
Mary the mother died in 1900.
Bartholomew Doocey husband of Mary Hurley died in 1891 aged 50, his death was registered, the informant was his wife Mary.
He only had one wife that I can find.
The 1894 death, is a total mystery to me.
The informant was Maurice Hurley which indicates the information is from a death cert, yet there is no death of a Bartholomew registered in Lismore in 1894.
This is what I've understood so far about this death from what's been said.
Bartholomew Doocey son of Bartholomew Doocey and Mary Hurley died in 1894, his death was registered and the informant was his 13 year old brother Maurice who claimed to be Bartholomew's brother but used the surname Hurley for himself. Bartholomew than rises from the death and is living with his brother Michael and other siblings in 1901.*
*I said 1911 in an earlier reply by mistake.
