It isn't that. If we are talking about family relations, daughters working for people who know their fathers, a school with ties to a particular religion or community injects a statement that I did not want to make. It is irrelevant to the issue but can easily start a _very_ negative conversation. I don't think ever mentioning someone's likely religion in such context is ever appropriate.
As for "of such and such road", that is a very common phrase going back centuries. It is a way of stating the wealth, or lack thereof, of a person's family.
