I've hit an absolute brick wall trying to find my great-great grandmother, Mary Donovan, and her family in the 1901 Irish census. I feel like I have tried absolutely every permutation under the sun and I am having no joy at all. Any help would be most gratefully received. I have lots of other records for this family, just not where they are on the 1901 census and it would help me to join up some dots.
I'm also interested in the children who died in infancy as I've not been able to locate them all yet - the 1901 census would help me to do this.
Mary Donovan, residing at Narrow Lane, Cork married John Donovan, from Mallow at Cork Cathedral on 15 October 1884.
They had several children, some in Mallow, some in Cork city. I have listed their addresses at the time of birth in case it helps in locating them in 1901.
1911 census states 7 surviving children of 10; still missing one who died in infancy:
1. Timothy Donovan, b.
22 Aug 1885, Broom Lane, Ballydaheen, Mallow, Co. Cork [survived infancy]
2. Nancy Donovan, b.
17 Oct 1886, Berry's Lane, Ballydaheen, Mallow, Co. Cork (possibly later known as Hannah/Annie?)
3. Patrick Donovan, b.

They are at 6 Berry's Lane in the 1911 census. At other times, they are listed as living on Broom Lane, Mallow. These roads, which no longer exist, are in Ballydaheen, Mallow, Co. Cork:
