Info for the Gem Street industrial School is not available at the NA. Contact details for minutes, admission registers etc on link. I also think there is a possibility that Eliza age 8 given in 1871 is there.

May get info on parentage

Think there may have been another son John, the name Snell does not seem to be that common in area.

MAY, JOHN    mmn   SNELL

Death - MAY'S, JOHN       0

Maybe some of the other children birth/death certs may help trace or give more info?

Age is out but think this is Thomas 1881. Don't think there is a marriage as she dies as Morton. Additional Dau in 1891 called Margaret/Maggie. Thomas age in 1891 b 1832

Difficult one...

List of counties in Ireland

https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/irl/

See counties ending in 'th' it could possibly be Meath or Louth. Both were in the province of Leinster as well as Dublin.  Unless she named an area more local to birthplace.

Info see Terminology- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Ireland

I would agree with Carole, enumerator likely wrote in wrong place. It seems an unlikely job for a female.

see Barer on link
