Where have you come across Eoyne?
I've never heard of it so I just tried it in several Irish data sets and get no result each time.

Looks like Coyne.

When you posted I had only just finished reading one of the Brady Coyne Mysteries, by William G Tapply.  :)

I'd be inclined to think that was a transcription error at some point in the family's history and it would have started out as Coyne.

You may well be right. And I am unable to verify the validity of the content of the linked website.

I was merely trying to help. I shall desist in future. That way, we both waste less time.

I was merely curious about the occurrence of the name, I didn't mean to waste your time, sorry, I don't consider it a waste of mine, I found it useful, something new learnt.

My apologies, Sinann.
I was having a bad day. I shouldn't have been so hasty with my reply.  :-[
