There is an anc tree which shows a brother John Byrne - born 16 May 1882 and who died 31 July 1916 Butte Silver Bow Montana. With a copy of a death cert issued for genealogy purposes which gives the parents as Jno Byrne and Anne Kehoe. There is also a newspaper cutting - Death Notice Butte Daily Post July 31, 1916 - gives details of sister Mrs Louney in Utah, sister Mrs Whetter  and a brother Thomas.
Buried at Holy Cross Cemetery. Butte, Silver Bow County, Montana.

However the entry on FIND A GRAVE with a photograph of him -  seems to give the wrong parents.

I have just come across this thread. From the iniformation given here I assume the John Whitten is Corporal 'Jack' Whitten, who was killed in action during the Second World War in Germany (aged 29)? If this is the same fellow (whose parents were Harry Whitten and Margaret Whitten (nee Burns) then I researched this chap a few years ago as he is commemorated in the Borough of Whitehaven, Cumberland WW2 'Book of Remembrance' and the war memorial of St Joseph's R.C. Church, Frizington.

There were relatives living at Church Lane, Hensingham, Whitehaven which seemed to be why he is remembered in the Whitehaven 'Book of Remembrance'. Oddly, Jack Whitten is not on the R.C. church memorial for Whitehaven, nor on the Arlecdon or Frizington village memorials. In case this is of assistance, this is the link to the main article I posted to the Internet about Jack Whitten and family:

This is amazing! This man, whom my grandmother called uncle Jack, was her hero. She would have loved to see your article on him. Thank you so much for posting this!

Hi hmtsab75,

I have just read the message about corporal jack Whitten. I haven't been on this web site for a while, so didn't realise all the new information. I will try and get a picture of his name on war memorial  for you next time I am up in Whitehaven. Say hi to Cathie and Leslee for me.
