Simple matter to check if you subscribe to Ancestry.com, etc. If not, each state has a census lookup list at Rootsweb. You could subscribe to the state list where she was born and post an inquiry. Just be sure to include as much information as you know. Her full name, date of birth, place of birth, names of any brothers/sisters, if known. In subject line, be sure to put the census year, county and surname you want searched.
