Hello there I am based in the London suburbs.

it might be worth following up that FamilySearch entry/film that aghadowey mentioned in reply#1

Had a look, I am confused , what should I do?

[shanew147]

I've never used FamilySearch census records or films, but might be worth following that up.

I'd start with the National Archives in Dublin - give them a ring and see if anyone can help ?

Before the census returns went online there was an option where you could order a copy of a census return if you gave them the name, and street & town or townland. As far as I remember that cost something like €2.50 - might be worth checking if they still operate that service .... there was a mention on the NAI website somewhere - it's also been discussed here on RootsChat

With all the cut-backs here I doubt adding/correcting census returns is high on the list of priorities at the moment.

I dont see the webpage which mentions the 1901/1911 census copies at the moment - but here's the order form (pdf file) :

Thankyou for that, I have also emailed the Dundalk Library, Roden Place

The sources list at the Library mention films for the 1901 census - but nothing about 1911....  sources

They mention another possible lead though that might be worth following up '..Electoral lists of 1885 and 1915, for some Co. Louth parishes...'
