I cannot find any member of the Rice family in Ireland in the 1911 census, so I presume the migrated to Britain in the years 1901-1911.

This is the Rice family in the 1901 census, living at 10 Bishop Street, Dublin

They were living in a tenement building, which was at least 4, maybe probaby 5 storeys high.
The Rice family of 9 persons lived in 2 rooms
The building had 16 "families" in 19 rooms, which was home to 76 people.
Only one "family" had 1 person in it
One "family" had 11 persons in it.
The squalid conditions of working class Dublin of 1900-1930 is frightening in today's terms.

Christopher Rice and Bridget Hanbury were married on 20 February 1887, at St. Andrew's Church, Westland Row, Dublin.
