_______________________
Robert Denne thinks her father’s name was Napoleon Argles but I cannot find him in the 1881 census, though he may have died by then. But I can find no death of a Nap... Argles on FreeBMD from 1858 to 1920, though there are 57 Argles deaths on FreeBMD in those same 63 years.
Napoleon F Argles was aged 24 and with his father in 1871 and unlikely to have been Caroline’s father.

She is not found in either of the 1961 and 1871 censuses.
