Mind you one needs to know the DED ( District Electoral District) name of the specific place you wish to search, but you seem to have that info. Btw, don't conclude that because she viewed the Titanic on its outward journey from the hill overlooking the harbour that she lived in Cobh. Hundreds of people went there from several counties to see the ship that day. Of general interest is which governement dept. in Dublindid you contact previously, and how much did it cost you?
