Welcome to Rootschat but this isn't a forum for tracing living relatives and we aren't allowed to post details of anyone living or possibly living.

The latest available Irish census is 1911 (it and 1901 are online, free) but you'd nee to treace the family a bit further back to make use of it. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

What is also free online is the Irish civil registration index which goes up to 1958 for the Republic of Ireland. https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1408347 However, it will not give exact details, only the details needed to order the certificates.

There are several topic on tracing living relatives in the Help pages which may give you some ideas what to try next-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

At www.familysearch.org you can search the Irish civil registration Index database up to 1958 for Bennett children in Kildare. Usually the index after 1928 shows mother's surname so this may help to pinpoint possible birth records for  children of Peter and Catherine. If they were born after 1958 you can ask for a search of the birth records from www.groireland.ie
