Thank you Istrice.
I think you are correct. I checked at SNL maps using a 25 inch to mile but did not find the location.  There were several places that seemed to show row houses but no names.

I wonder if it would have shown up in the 1901 or 1911 census.? Ima wondering how to look at the enumerators reports to see where it was in relation to other dwellings in the area.

I think the rows were located in the Greeburn area.

Who were her parents - any older siblings?  Maybe we could find them on a census at the same address.
