Michael McIntyre, Died 1891

Michael McIntyre's death record shows Michael, father of Lawrence McIntyre, died on November 9, 1891 in Lislea.  It also states there was no medical attendant.  It is assumed he died on his farm in Lislea.  At the time of his death he was a widower, so Mary, his wife, must have died prior to November, 1891.  Given his age is listed at 86 years, his birth year would be around 1805.  The registration which was done in the Registrar's District of Aclare; Superintendent Registrar's District of Tobercurry, notes that a Thomas McIntyre was present at death and he is also from Lislea.  Thomas McIntyre (1878-1939) would have only been about 13 years old at the time of Michael's, his grandfather's, death.  It seems strange that a 13 year old would report the death.  At first I thought it could be another son of Michael's named Thomas or even a brother named Thomas, but neither of them, if they existed, would have been living in Lislea.  Curious.
