"She doesnt appear on either census, but we know she was there in 1903 and 1905 when she gave birth to 2 sons, we have their birth certs but no father is mentioned (although we have traced who he was) so we are assuming  Reeves is her maiden name. We dont know if she ever married, she definitely wasnt married to the boys father."

no I havent looked at institutions

[Rosbern]

ow do I search the census' for institutions??

[aghadowey]

We find it's not a good idea to have many threads which overlap and look for the same information on the same people as is causes much confusion and duplication for those trying to help (and also makes it harder for the poster to keep track of details that have been found for them).

It was explained earlier that you need to search for people in institutions by initials rather than first and last names- "If Caroline was in a hospital or institution then she could be listed with just her initials .. making people difficult to find. "

Ok, but to be fair people dont always bother to trawl through all the pages which is why i reposted

[shanew147]

you can edit any of your older posts to edit out any details you no longer want to include - but it makes it very difficult for anyone to try to assist you if dont include all the clues you can.

I know  Makes it very difficult!  I dont think Im ever going to find Caroline, seems like a lost cause.

The problem is that there is very little detail on Caroline to even start a search. I dont see anything close for her birth, death or marriage anywhere in Ireland - the only birth match for the name is in the 1950s, as is the only marriage for the name. (the deaths only on the familysearch website only cover up to 1958)

The only remote possibility of a link that I see is a birth in 1912 with Caroline as a middle name - Clara Lucy Caroline Reeves / Dublin North, Apr/Jun 1912, Vol 2 /Page 549

Are you sure that Caroline was born in Ireland ?

If she was in an institution of some sort in 1901 and/or 1911 under her initials it will be difficult to confirm any possible matches without knowing an approximate year and place of birth.
