I'd say Firs House was the name of a locality, it also has UD following it which would indicate that it's a locality rather than an actual house. If it had been her father's house, they would have given the address.

It says "Firs Home"
If you Google that name you come up with something about "Firs Home" in Bournmouth. A Sanotorium founded in 1868.
