1911 Census will give approx. age so you can begin looking for Elizabeth in earlier census records in Ireland (1901 only) or England. Hopefully father Frederick Cunningham (maybe miner or even labourer) will help locate more details.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

1911 census Elizabeth was maybe still at the kilrush poorhouse.

Can’t find E. F. but L. F. at the following address here Could be L for Lizzie. There’s also a 5 year old B. F. could be the child Bridget mentioned in this thread.

If L. F. is Elizabeth the birthplace is given as Clare. Age 29 maybe close enough, you can check all widows in Clare about that age and this is maybe the most likely match.
