This is probably an error, and should read Caroline. No other records can be found for a Carolina.
1861 census records place of birth as Morley (should be Marley), Bingley Parish, Yorkshire, England. The family later lived across the river at Crossflats.
She died at the age of 71 in June 1904 in Keighley.1
