Nothing is jumping out, but I don't have the best eyes for searching!

Gerry, could you or or wife try to find anything on the Kitty/Kathleen McKee lady you mentioned (the one in the hospital)  at https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie   Your wife should know approximate dates to narrow a birth down in the civil records? Just use names and dates, don't worry about districts. 
Maybe a new hint will pop up.

I think that is his son John James McCabe.
I have found this.
 26th Feb 1894
Kathleen Jane
 Father. John Mc Cabe
 35 Glen View St
Mother.  Rosetta Mc Cabe. Formally Carberry ( printer). Registered 15th March 1894.  Doesn’t record the father as been RIC. but fits her age recorded in 1911 census. Would need to find her death certificate now as according to my wife was early 70s in hospital where the name of Mc Kee came to light rather than Mc Cabe for whatever reason ????

Weird that (Printer) as he was definitely in the RIC then . !!!  Also very strange his friends come to collect the body for internment. Not a mention of family !!! The RIC gazette statement unofficially married is more than strange !!! Why was his police record showing him as a bachelor?? A really strange man ???

I don't think James McCabe, the police officer, is the problem.  It's his wife Annie .. 

Looking at Gaffy's post here:  https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=881654.msg7543132#msg7543132

The age variants between the 1901 and 1911 could very well be due to Annie filling out the 1901, and her son John James filling out the 1911.

I agree that the family in the 1901 (Burnaby St) could very well be Annie McCabe.  Perhaps she took the children and left James for someone else, who could well be James McKee, a sailor, as the  1901 directory for the address of 44 Burnaby St lists it to James McKee, sailor.
https://www.lennonwylie.co.uk/bcomplete1901_2.htm

I can't find James McCabe in that directory either...

There is the pesky problem of the McKinstry name as well, on John James McCabe's 1915 marriage.

I'm drawing a blank on the sailor, James McKee, possibly due to reading far too many registers and directories!  It would be ideal to find him to rule in or out that 1901 Annie and children.

I will have a go at finding Mc Kee through the links you have provided me with. My wife Eiiish is going to talk to her brother about the time that Kitty was admitted to the hospital and she brought her mum and dad down to the City Hospital and the name of Kitty Mc Cabe had changed to Kitty Mc Kee. Eilish is trying to recall the exact date Kitty died so that we can hopefully find it in the PRO records as we don’t know who actually buried her!!! Thank you and your fellow researchers for your efforts in trying to piece this story together. Very much appreciated.

Does she (your wife) know what relationship this Kitty was to her?  A great aunt, or ?
