1910. Her husband, Peter Hynes, 57, died on 23/2/1910 Dublin North - Irish Civil Records . His age must be wrong on the 1901C. He "was buried in Glasnevin" - but can find no mention of him there!. He was living Juverna Terrace, Glasnevin.

5/6 of his sons are present ( I think Jack might be his son) , and there are Nolan & Leary cousins[ related through his father or his mother?- maybe his mother was a Nolan/Leary]. As well as the Lord Mayor, there were at least a hundred other named mourners at his funeral !
