Allan - who is at that address (house number 5 Carrickrevagh) in 1911?

It's not easy to try to search the Irish census by address.

I did find this by googling but can't see a connection:

If you have her death certificate, does it actually say that she died in the Workhouse? Or could it be that the district where she died was Manorhamilton?

I have discovered with the help of the community board that my wifes paternal grandmother died in 1906 in the Manorhamilton Workhouse Co. Leitrim. previuos attempts to locate records were not successful. Does any one have any advice on how or where I could look to find details of the reason this lady was in a workhouse at only 28 years old and was a tenant farmers wife. (Census record 1911 house number 5 Carrickrevagh refers). Allan
