  • You can get a birth cert from the Galway public records office This will give you a definite address and having teh date of birth makes it very easy

    Civil Registration Service, Community Services, 25 Newcastle Road, Galway,
    Opening Hours: 10:00 to 4.30 Mon-Fri ( 0500 - 1130 EST)
    Contact: 091 546277 Fax: 091 582028

    One of the staff there is Fiona and you could send her an email request fiona.crosbynewell@hse.ie

    Cost approx €10 for full cert and 7 for a genealogical one

    If you are writing the proper country address is Ireland or ?ire (accent on the E - without the accent it is the dominion status from 1922-49) 

    Based on what you have said this seems to be your gran's family :

    http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Kilquain/Moorfield_or_Gortnamona/472260/

    The names of the parents match and possible that sometimes names can interchange
