Don't think there would have been any lists. If she had been the householder, perhaps the valuation roll might say something, but it would be her husband who would appear on that, not her.

I don't know about Armagh, but in the Dublin of my youth a dealer always meant someone selling fruit and vegetables, e.g. in a place like Moore Street where they are still referred to as dealers.

Certainly in Northern Ireland a dealer could have been selling almost anything so it's difficult to pinpoint a more exact description.

Egg dealer and such like was a common occupation for widowed or abandoned women in those days.
