A possible birth:

Ireland, Civil Registration Births Index, 1864-1958
Name: Martin Mansfield
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1897
Registration district: Clonmel
Birth Country: Ireland
Volume: 4
Page: 480
FHL Film Number: 101066

What else do you know about him? How did you get to his name?

EDIT: this link is quite likely the 1911 for that birth:
