Any idea of what county 'Glenfield' was in? Searching 1901 census for a child age 10ish named James Murphy brings up too many choices.

A James Murphy, age 11, son of William, lived in Kilcolmanbane in Co. Laois in 1901.  William was a widower.  According to the OSI maps, Glenfield is really near Kilcolmanbane:

1901 is the first complete census for Ireland and 1911 is latest available census.
