I presume this is your Julia Phelan in Mountmellick ?

  Phelan household, Foundry Street - 1901

Looks like 'Camoris, Qu. Co.' to me ... the husband has also given a town as his place of birth and the 'Mt. Mellick' followed by the same 'Qu. Co.'

Have you found Julia on the 1911 return to see what that return states for place of birth ?

You can check for town and townland names on the townland database at http://www.thecore.com/seanruad  No townland that I see named Camoris - maybe a mistranscription/mispelling/mishearing of Camross ?
