The only Irish census that exists is the 1901 and 1911 (all previous were destroyed).

thank you for that info and i think its right. i can now apply for a marriage cert as i have the correct name and move a bit further,then i can find where she was living at that time because i cant find anything on the 1911 census.plus the cert will tell me who her father was.
many thanks again

Have you got the marriage cert to confirm her age and give the name of her father ? But I presume not
