Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking at the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were relatives there at the time? http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
You could also check civil records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these records up to 1958 online at:

It may also be an idea to contact the South Tipperary Cultural Centre for assistance however a fee may apply. Here is their email:
Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
