Hi Parki,
The 1911 Dublin census is now online and it is free to view.|jumphappy

There is a Henry Murphy aged 30 living at 35 Clarence Street North, Mountjoy, Dublin on the 1911 census. His occupation is shown as Licensed Driver. He is with his sisters Margaret 34 and Brigid 27. All are shown as single, Roman Catholic and able to read and write. There is more information available about the house and outbuildings etc. There are 6 other residents in the street named Murphy. Here is the link. (http://http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?surname=Murphy&firstname=&townland=Clarence+Street+North&ded=Mountjoy&age=&sex=&submit=Search&sort=&pageSize=10)

Also there are 45 James Fagans listed; you would have to decide which of them, if any, may be the one you are after by checking them all against any further information you have eg, age, parents/wife's name, children etc.

Best wishes
