Looked at the record on Ancestry but just couldn't make it out but found the family in the UK 1901 Census also in Sandown and it gives Mary P Owens' birthplace as Maryboro (now Portlaoise)  Queens County. Could what looks like a G in the 1891 census be a M badly written? the rest would fit with Maryboro.

The enumerator's 'M's are inconsistent but in the 1891 the initial letter is definitely a 'G'.  Variable birth places is one of the pitfalls of the censuses.  It makes things 'fun' though ;)

I'll pass on Maryboro to my friend and let her take it from there.

Thank you for your help.
