So, applying that meaning to my 'where' sentence, if I stripped everything from the sentence it would read, "where my house was" and that isn't a question, so naturally it would fall into the relative clause category.
Stripped down you'd still need to look at it in question form. "Where was my house?"

Then you'd need to dissern whether in the context, that was the question the speaker was asking, or whether the speaker was asking a question at all.

What I mean to say is, was it an indirect way of asking a question - - > embedded question
Where was my house

or information - -> relative clause
the place where my house was
