I've got the name of the bank it's the Munster and Leinster Bank.
Scroll down to the AIB bank orange/red building.

I think, you can never be sure with these things, that your family lived fairly near this bank, it should at least put you at thr correct end of Main Street.

The Bank is number 88 in 1901 and 124 in 1911, it's the same bank manager in both census so likely the same building.

if we can figure out the name of the bank, it might be possible to discover what building it was in.

The Bank is enumerated 88th  in 1901 and 124th  in 1911... it only only to keep a count of how many Forms there were.

hallmark, thank you for the added clarification, which I'm sure Sinann made quite clear earlier.
From what you say then an enumerator could have found no one home at the 70th door at 10am, returned later and that door became a much higher number.

So, with no seeming way to pinpoint place of birth, other than Rathkeale, there's little use in visiting.

Looking at the map I think the house/pub she was born in is West of the AIB bank.
This is assuming the Enumerator went from house to house in order, I think they usually did on streets.
The Court house in 1911 is number 135 so that would be East of the AIB.
I think that's right.........
Oh well at least you'll know your on the correct street.

No.

The Emunerator knew from previous Census how many houses had to be Enumerated on that street.... so knew how many he/she had to account for!

If a property was empty or demolished it had to be accounted for.

If an extra property had been built between Census then the count would need to be 1 higher than previous Census and marked on Map.

Sinann, right from the onset, Google maps put the pointer for 100 Main in the street between the bank and post office across the street. I assumed the post office was the "delivery" room back then as well.

They may well have numbers today and there would be about the same number of buildings so likely 100 would be generally in the same area as the Enumerator's count, but remember the bank was 88 in 1901 and 124 in 1911, it depends on where he started from and how the areas were divided up on each Census. My gut reaction though is don't trust Goole maps too much particularly for street numbers, looking online neither the Post Office or the AIB bank have numbers in their address.
