Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Can you provide more specifics on Patrick Campion (approximate year of birth, names of parents etc.). I located one Campion family in the 1901 census in Tullaroan parish.

The Tullaroan RC records only start in 1843 so no record for Patrick if he was from that parish. The 1911 census record I located is possibly for a sister in law of Patrick. This Mary was Mary Kelly who was married to William Campion from Lates. Below is the transcription of the baptismal record for Martin who was shown in the 1911 census record. I can't prove that this family is related to Patrick Campion but very likely there is a connection.

There is a baptism for a Patrick CAMPION 31-Mar-1809 Address: Huntstown which is in the civil parish of Tullaroan. The RC parish records for Tullaroan before 1843 can be found in the RC Freshford parish registers which start quite early, in the late 1700s.
What are the names of your Patrick's children in birth ord.er? That may provide clues to other family members
