The General Register Office for births/deaths/marriages is housed in Roscommon - records of births and deaths go back to 1864 while those of marriage go back to 1845

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

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 :
