Sorry Murrell we didn't pay your question much attention
as you can see from these 1917 births, several simply say Rathdrum,

and if you look at a map from 1913 you can see just Main Street which changes to Low Street and a couple of lanes off the street with names, anyone living along the street would simply have an address of Rathdrum. It's possible no one or very few ever used the name of the street.

We still use it today.

My exact address is the townland, nearest town, County..

Same with birth registrations.

Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.

My mother in law's 1917 birth cert from County Clare just says Kiltrellig,no address ,but I know she was born at home.
??? I don't understand what you mean.
Kiltrellig is a townland, so wasn't that her address.

Yes that is the town land , but most certs give an actual address , such as so and so farm or a street and house number.

Just not so.

Hi Wexflyer
The birth certificate l have does not show an address anywhere. It shows district of Wicklow in the union of Rathdrum.
Date & place of birth Wicklow- name of father dwelling place Wicklow .& finally under signature of mother Wicklow.
Just wondered if anyone else had come a cross this before.
It's 1926 birthday James Keilty Labourer mother Esther Keilty New Bryce.I

that wouid mean Wicklow town, which was in Rathdrum registration district.

not unusual to just have the town as place of birth. UD means Urban District, so could even be somewhere close to Wicklow town.

Hi

In the 1911 Census there are only 10 Keilty folk in the entire county of Wicklow -  all in Rathdrum Poor Law Union but every single one living in Arklow Rural District Electoral Division.  The list includes an 18 year old James.  Is this your James?

The residence/address is what is stated in the proper column on the birth certificate.
