I did look earlier for children of Dempsey/Reilly but could see any in Carlow reg district.

Maybe they lived elsewhere after they married.

Without a fact for one particular child, name, birth year it is very difficult!

Some background, as requested: I try to compile an ancestry tree, with all (well, not all, obviously) ancestors of my daughter-in-law Jill O'Reilly. Around 1910, her great-grandfather, James Reilly (born 19 Oct 1886 in Carlow) migrated to England. The earliest ancestor in the male line I have so far is Thomas Reilly, RC baptized in Doonane Parish on 1 January 1822. He married 30 Sep 1846 to Margaret Brennan (bapt. 1 Sep 1824).
This couple had four children, of whom James Reilly (bapt. 26 Dec 1849 Killeshin Parish, Co. Carlow) was my d-i-l's great-great-great-grandfather. One of the other three children was Elizabeth Reilly, bapt. 16 Jan 1853. I try to document not only the direct ancestors, but also their siblings (and the spouses of these siblings). That is why I am interested in the details of Elizabeth. As I could not find the death of Elizabeth Reilly without knowing her husband's name, I tried to find her husband and children.

What is certain about Eliza(beth) Reilly (spelled Reiley on the marriage certificate) https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1886/10829/5949754.pdf is her baptism and her marriage on 9 March 1886 in the RC Chapel of Mayo, Reg.District Ballickmoyler in Co. Laois, with a John Dempsey, farmer, whose father, also John Dempsey, was also a farmer. Elizabeth's father was Thomas Reilly. Elizabeth and father Thomas lived in townland Dromagh.

Thus, help in finding
--the death of Elizabeth Dempsey, née Reilly
--the birth and death of her husband John Dempsey
--the children of John and Elizabeth
is very welcome.

Thank you.

OK...searching for James, 14 or 15 in 1901 Census using the search below, gets you 3 results

It may be the case that James and Elizabeth didn't have any children.

The marriage cert had Coorlane for John Dempsey address, using the OSI mapviewer there is a Coolane (not marked) in the townland of Coolaghan with this couple
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Queen_s_Co_/Ardough/Coorlaghan/787017/
but in each census she is 10 years too young, not married quite long enough either

If I'm correct and the other Dempsey living near by is his brother, than this John's father is William.
Dead end.
