Yeah, I've Googled nearly every business, on both sides, east and west. Only thing that has caught my eye is a possible number above the door to Fitzgibbon.

There is/was always someone around who would tell you, but now we have eircodes.

Put in Mail Street Rathkeale Limerick, than scroll down to view on map and have a play with it.
Each house in the entire country has its own code.

How many windows are on building in Census?

The Form numbers are easy enough to explain.

If you take a street, "First Street" with 10 houses, 5 on each side of road.

The enumerator goes to the first house, get a reply, so put 1 on Form.

No answer from next house and the one after, so he knocks on fourth house, gets an answer, so he puts 2 on the form. He gets answers at all the other houses, so these are 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

He then goes on to next street to be done. Then next street etc.

He goes home and drops dead!!

Someone has to complete his work.

They see 8 Forms for "First Street",   knows there should be 10.

This emumerator goes to "First Street"....looks at the Map and finds the 2 missing house, gets a reply at both, so these become 9 and 10.

Next Census, there is no reply at first house, there is at second house, which was no. 9 last time, this now become No. 1 on Form...
