As you have a name and approximate date of birth you could search IGI (they have some, not all, Irish births 1864-c1882) and index to civil registrations (in order to send for birth certificate which will give mother's maiden name so you can search for the parents' marriage).

The 1911 census is online for Co. Antrim-

There's also the Will Extracts and 1912 Ulster Covenant databases on PRONI's site- www.proni.gov.uk
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
