Looking for info on Caroline Reeves, working in Dublin around 1900 as a cook.

The only place you've mentioned is Dublin- is there a reason you've posted on ANTRIM board?

The father of her children had strong connections here, she doesnt appear to have been from Dublin so perhaps he met her in the north.

I can't find her in 1901 Irish census but there is one Caroline Reeves in 1911 census- is this her?
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Templemore_Urban/Manna_South/827550

If this is the correct family, they are living in Tipperary and Caroline (and husband Ernest) both born in England. Married 8 years so in 1901 this woman will not be listed as Reeves.

no this isnt her, she wasnt married, Reeves is her maiden name, She may have married after 1905 following the birth of her younger son but not sure.

Have you found Caroline on any census records anywhere?

Where have you searched for a record of her marriage? Irish civil registration index is online but you need to search for bride and groom separately.
www.familysearch.org

It would probably help if you give us what details you've already found such as her husband's name, etc.
