Isn't her mother "Anna" living with them in 1900? Did you get Anna's death cert to confirm the parents' names? That death cert would have asked "place" of birth -- hopefully, it says the townland.

And most important --- I'll bet Anna/Bridget is buried with Julia. PHONE the cemetery w/Julia's date of death and get the info for an obit/death cert on the mother.
