I thought an example would explain best, the one I picked has the townland on it 

Very clear example, thank you. The lack of thought and lack of attention to detail in the creation and maintenance of these online indices always astonishes me. Especially (or because?) they were paid for.

Today, I remembered that I do have some additional evidence for where my great-grandmother Johanna Smyth might have been in 1911. Unfortunately, this additional evidence somewhat confuses me. What I have are the US immigration records for two of her children, on which she is listed as their next-of-kin, and her address listed. Neither address makes sense to me.

The first is from the September, 1907, US immigration record for her son James. Her address is given as "Ballymill House, Graigue." I have searched extensively, but can find no record of a house by that name. I can't even figure out which Graigue - the one in Co. Carlow seems unlikely to me. There are multiple townlands by the name of Graigue, or including Graigue in Wexford.

The second is from the October, 1911, US immigration record for her daughter Margaret. Her address is given as M.....?, Co Wexford.

Found this:  Ballymills Graig na Managh Carlow Co. Wexford
http://www.irelandlookup.com/1012353/Architects/Carlow/Daly_Molloy_Creative_Planning_And_Design/

Is this the one you discounted...I don't known why the address is Carlow and Wexford but it's right on the Carlow/Kilkenny border and only 5 or 6 miles from the Wexford border.The fact that Ballymill is in the address is interesting.

Consider this Johanna:

This is in right area for Murrintown, and the Johanna, albeit aged 66, has only been married 6 years.

I'm heading out, but maybe someone can look for a Smith (Smyth) to Steadman marriage.

I searched initials J S in the 1911 census in case she was in hospital but nothing jumped out.
