Thanks for the find! 

But I think the year would probably be too early. 

I should have provided this part earlier but the info about the death (1896)  was recorded in 1903, so even though the man who recorded it was very inaccurate, I wouldn't guess it could be any earlier than about 1890.

The name James passes the test of not being a known name of the brothers:
Pat
Daniel
Michael

Though, I can't immediately think of anyone in the extended family with the name James. 

Other names I have seen of distant kin without the exact relationship known are Timothy and Charles.

As far as I know the family has no connection to Listowel.

42 sounds sort of specific.  But I wouldn't necessarily shrug off 40, if it were closer to 1896.

OP - this sounds like a perfect query for the Irish Railway Record Society. You will find them online, and I believe they entertain queries.
