Geography School Book

"The book is a geography junior school book, published by The Education Company of Ireland, Limited. The book belonged to my Mam, Nancy Johnson, who went to school in a small national school in Killenaule, Tipperary. She was born in 1929, and the previous census was in 1926 - the cover of the book says “New Edition, with latest Census returns”. I believe my Mother was about 7/8 years old when she used it, so it would date to approximately 1934-1937. I'm a Genealogist and as the Census is mentioned in the book, and as my Mother died in 1990, it is something to have of my Mother’s childhood."
