What was her father's occupation when she was born?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

If the family owned the property/house then the Valuation office may have records.

Hello all.
My father in law was a "Boot and Shoe Operative" on the birth certificate.
I have his 1901 and 1911 census', but he was with his parents and 14 yo in 1911.
My wife was 1 of 8 children, the first 6 being registered in Dublin, number 6 in 1930. My wife was number 7 and registered in Milestown and the youngest in 1939 in Manchester. So as you can see, the family relocated to Miletown sometime between 1930 an my wife's birth in 1937.
I am certain that the family did not own property, in 1901 my father in law, his 5 siblings and parents lived in one room in Dublin. I had a look at the valuation site but i think you have to visit in person, a bit difficult from New Zealand.
Thanks and
Cheers.
Geoff.
