If he is the Pensioner in 1911, he was born Cavan

Where and when was he born (as per 1901 census)? Sorry, my laptop just doesn't want to cooperate with anything today. 

My earlier link takes you to Monaghan Asylum in Mullaghmatt townland, and there he’s shown as 65 years of age, RC, married, born in Co Kildare & police pensioner. About half way down the list of inmates. The man in the 1911 link looks suspiciously like him, but obviously has Cavan as place of birth.

If it helps at all, RIC officers never normally served in counties where they or their wives had connections. So if born in Kildare or Cavan, he shouldn't normally have served there.
