Unfortunately not. In the 1851 census (GB) it just puts 'Ireland' for d.o.b. However, I noticed a post on this site, mentioning a tailor called Wharton in the Dublin area....?

Hi Madrid.
 Keep looking at the later Census. Our family found Mary Wharton born 1800, Ireland, on all, until we stuck gold in the 1881, when it said, born Carlow, Carlow County, Ireland. So maybe as they got better at it, they had to be more precise about details.
I might add we still haven't got much further but at least we know where she was born now. :D
