Try Castle garden
http://www.castlegarden.org/
CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened. Over 73 million Americans can trace their ancestors to this early immigration period.
Castle Garden, today known as Castle Clinton National Monument, is the major landmark within The Battery, the 23 acre waterfront park at the tip of Manhattan. From 1855 to 1890, the Castle was America's first official immigration center, a pioneering collaboration of New York State and New York City.

Won't do it again.
No problems,the more the merrier... in this case your solution is probably the better one as Castle Garden only appears to go to 1892 when Ellis Island opened.

I cant find her on any of the passenger list, the US census says she entered in 1903 , anyone got any idea as to where I go now. ??? ??? ??? Her immigration may have been done through the Catholic Church.

Have you checked the immigration part of Ancestry? There were many different ports. I had a relative, with every intention of going to Brooklyn, come through Phylly, so you never know. I, myself, haven't had much luck finding immigration information on my relatives. :-\

here is some more info on Ellis Island and Castle Gardens, including some links which might prove useful:
Topic: pre Ellis Island
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,109057.0.html
In the middle of the 19th. century, New York was the main entry point for thousands of immigrants ( in 1854 more than 200,000 germans, for instance) so in 1855 the authorities opened up the first "Immigration Centre" at the southern tip of Manhatten, Castle Gardens
In 1892 this was moved to Ellis Island.
Sorry, I have to nit pick a little :)
Castle Garden existed as a processing station for immigrants between 1855 and 1890. Then there was no processing station for almost 2 years , then Ellis Island, then another period of using the Barge Office, then back to Ellis Island
1624-31 July 1855: no receiving station
1 Aug. 1855-18 Apr. 1890: Castle Garden
19 Apr. 1890-31 Dec. 1891: Barge Office
1 Jan. 1892-14 june 1897: Ellis Island
15 June 1897-16 Dec. 1900: Barge Office
17 Dec. 1900-1924: Ellis Island
