Hi, James's naturalization papers say he was from Dublin, not Cork. I searched birth records for Dublin between 1880 and 1890 and found one James Francis:
James Francis born 13th August 1890 to Thomas Dwyer and Ellen Murphy:

About the record
Book Number:
Page: 4
Entry Number: 266
Record Identifier: DU-RC-BA-411899
The birth date does not match the one James Francis gave on the naturaIization papers, but his shouId not discount this record. Incorrect ages and birth dates are common in Irish genealogy.
There were also a few other James Dwyers born in DubIin 1880-1890.
James Dwyer is shown in the 1911 census living with his parents and siblings on Harty Place. If this is your James, he did not go to Canada in the earIy 1900s.
