"....On the 1911 census the only McGowan in the Dromahair area that I saw was a John (age 42?) and his wife and family listed.  Patrick and Annie/Honora and the two other boys (James and John) are listed in 1901, but not in 1911....."

Much better if one posts the link to what you found on Census, otherwise others have to go looking for it.

Do you have the link?

Links for 1901 and 1911 McGowan families:

Believe the 1901 Patrick is "the one" ...  Cannot place the same family in 1911 though ...

Not necessarily next door,  next house enumerated!

There is a Patrick McGowan of the right age from Leitrim who sailed in 1907 to join his brother James in Brooklyn, NY.  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JXNN-ZPV  You can see the passenger list for free on the Ellis Island site. 

If the above Honor Byrne could be his mother, I wondered about this 1918 death that listed a Patrick McGowan with mother Nora Byrne - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2WZQ-ZMP
