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.
