Yes on both census she was single with Gavin as last name  so it looks like she could have been a  single mother . 1901 gives her age as 40 but 1911 is 55 I heard somewhere that they would say they were older so to get a pension so that could be the answer to the age difference.

Im not very good at Iirish searches and ancestry is blocking me from looking up the census details for patrick.

But if you name the town uncle patrick went to maybe people on irish board could help more .

If mary was a single mother with maiden name Garvin then the name of lizzies father on birth certificate was probably invented .

You need to see her birth.certificate or baptism .
