Do you have a more exact location?

If they were Catholic you could try searching through the online Parish Registers if they cover that period but be aware that there are lots of parishes-

Are any of them in England in 1911? that census is the one probably most likely to list more than the county for place of birth but you should check all other possible ones for all the family born in Ireland for clues.
