You didn't list much data to work with.I can only give you a general search methodology.
The IFHF is creating a BMD database for all Ireland.It is 1/3 to 1/2 complete.It has records for all faiths and civil records as well.This org. charges a 10 euro fee for EACH detailed record; therefore, guessing gets expensive.The website will show you what records are available.Records before 1830 become increasingly scarce.
Go to http://brsgenealogy.com/http://brsgenealogy.com/, register, then search the database for births and/or marriages with the dates/names you have.Athlone is probably a Parish. Look under "Sources" to find the Parish names for each county (note - Parish names may be the same in several counties) Screen out ambiguous data or false positives. Use the marriage and/or birth record to find the names of parents (if available).
