I have found my Great Grandparents on the 1911 census 
There address is down as Castlehill Street, South Wexford, Parish of St Michaels of Fiagh, ward St Mary's, Dist Electoral Div Wexford WO2 Urban.
I cannot locate a Castlehill Street and wondered if anybody could help...
I know there is a Hill Street, which has a castle at the top of it which houses the council offices ......

these references are plot number (or site numbers) and generally match up with the reference numbers used originally by Griffiths Valuation.
In many cases these were used as house numbers in Cities and Towns in later years.
Griffiths shows a Castle Hill in Wexford, which looks to be the same address and it contains 17 houses (the 1911 Census has 18)
Griffiths link : http://www.rootschat.com/links/06g0/
I'd say it's possible that the '12' reference followed through from Griffiths in 1853 to the 1911 Census as far as today.
It may be possible to check into this using the map feature on the askaboutireland site
do anyone know how many houses are on Castle Hill today ?
