Maree:

You don't indicate where Daniel was living in 1901 and 1911 and there are too many Daniel Murphy records in Cork. Can you share the 1901 census record. If he possibly taught at Innishannon school, this web site provides an email address to contact for information. https://www.innishannonschool.com//about/school-history/

There's a likely match for your Daniel in the March 1905 list of National School Teachers (NAI) as follows :

Name : Daniel Murphy, age 60

length of Service : 41 yrs, 5 month

Currently Serving School : Riverstown Boys, Co. Cork, Roll No. 13747

Position : Principle

Another School is mentioned as 'place of Education' : Goggin's Hill, Ballinhassig, Waterfall

[no information on training college]

This is probably him with his family on the 1901 Census at Rearour townland Co. Cork

Both wife Ellen and eldest son are also teachers - Ellen probably at Kilbonane as an assistant.
