Heather, I am afraid that the bad news is that the earliest Irish Census is 1901. You might consider whether you can pin down a marriage date and likely place. If after 1864 you could hope for a marriage record which would name her father. There is an article on the Co. Waterford (IGP) website on getting Civil Registration records which might be of interest. The address is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlwat2/howto.htm Good luck.
