Hi Snowhite,
I've just discovered the 1901 & 1911 censuses. As far as I can make out, James & Thomas were brothers of my grandfather, Patrick Kelly. I'm the daughter of Patrick's son, Laurence (1924-2011) from Wolfe Tone Avenue. I was able to find the birth records of their other brothers Henry (1889), Peter(1892), John (Jack)(1894) & William(1897) easily enough and their only sister, Julia(1885) but haven't found either James's or indeed my grandfather, Patrick's birth records yet.
It was great to find this information, many thanks,
Anne-Marie Farrell (nee Kelly)
