Hello Chris,
I went to www.rootsireland.ie and searched for your mother Mary Brigid Mooney.
I found a record of her baptism and I'm presuming this is she.
church baptism, Mooney,Mary Brigid, 1924, Co Waterford
I then went to the Co. Waterford site (by clicking on the magnifying glass beside the record)
I searched the different parishes and found the record belongs to Portlaw RC.
This is a small town in Co. Waterford and yes there is a Queen Street there.
Hope this helps,
Anne Dennehy
