MOLLOY - Clarke, Fitzsimons???

My Great Grandfather Joseph Molloy is listed on the Dublin 1911 census as originally from Laois - Queens County.
He married twice (we’re not sure of his first wifes name) and had 8 children withhis first wife - 4 of whom were alive in 1911 when he is listed as a widower with 3 of his 4 children living with him in Dublin 8, Emorville Road - Daniel, Josephine and Alice Mary aged 19, 17 & 12 respectively.
He went on to marry my Great Grandmother Kathleen Clarke and they had 3 children together - Josephine, Kathleen & Joseph.
We think that Kathleen was from Kings County (not sure) and the youngest of 4 children. Her brothers were called, James, Edward & Patrick and they are thought to have lived around the Donnybrook area of Dublin.
Young Kathleen (Matser) was my grandmother, the middle child who went on to marry a man called Charles Fitzsimons from Ballybough Dublin.
Joseph Molloy we are told was the only member of his family to remain in Ireland. The rest of the family are believed to have emigrated to Boston and we’re told one of Josephs brothers became a High Court Judge there.
Any help or information with our search would be very much appreciated!!
Many thanks.
