The sub-district is unclear (last image above) but looks like 'North Dublin ...... / No. 1 East'
There is an Emily place listed in the district. I'll see if I can find out where it was located..

Emily place no longer exists but was off Lower Sheriff St to the south, about where the Spencer Dock development is now.
The street is shown in the c1890 OSI map - see Emily place (http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,717031,734796,7)
(select the historic 25" option to see the correct map)

no problem..
I think Emily Place is the best fit, as it's the only street that I can find in Dublin North No. 1 East ending in ..ily The second letter does look like an m. It's the first letter that's the problem , but it could be a very bad E.
Any chance you could post an extract of the street name scanned at a slightly higher resolution - just to see if there's a little more detail in there ?

the 3rd ooopppppps!!!!

I think maybe 1 Emily place ?
Shane

Thnaks for the help Shane! OK, I think I see 1 Emily Place as well. I was wondering why there wasn't a number.
-
I think's it's probably a very bad E, like a lower case e but written as a capital, and the way the registrar has joined the writing between the 1 and the E has confused it.

There are Mackeys living at Emily place on the 1901 census - any connection?
Moderator Note - Typing in all capital letters is considered shouting, which I'm sure you didn't mean to do. I've edited the text to more normal case.

I just looked at the Mackeys living at 10 Emily Place in the 1901 Census. I don't think there is a connection, but thanks for pointing that out.

In 1901, 10 Emily Place. Frank and Mary Mackey (nee Keenan) lived with their children. One of which was my grandfather Michael Mackey.
There were families with the surname Macken. Indeed my grandfather's birth cert is something to behold if you want to see how even a registrar could get it wrong. Also in North Dock were a family by the name of Mackesy.
As far as my research goes all the Mackey's were related.
Emily Place can be seen on the OSI map of the area C.1897. It was off Sherriff Street, just a few yards from St Laurence O'Tooles Church. Its now redeveloped, as a street it no longer exists.
The interesting thing is that there were several lanes of cottages off Mayor Street, Sheriff Street. Brady's Cottages, Orrs Cottages, Emily Place etc. In looking at Griffiths it looks like the 1st cottage was occupied by the owner or landlord.
