Have you looked for her on the 1911 Irish census?  Was Molly her given name or a corruption of another?  (Eg) Margaret

Who & when did she marry?  Does her marriage cert give a fathers name?

I've only heard the name Molly. She didn't marry and died in Dublin aged about 32/33. .
I will look up 1911 census.
Thanks.

Molly is often a nickname for Mary but there are two girls named Molly Collins in 1911 census in Co.Cork (neither born 1902)-

In 1911 census there is no one by the name of Collins in the townland of Knocknagree, Co. Cork. There is, however, a Mary Collins in the townland of Farrankeal in Knocknagree D.E.D.-
