Your data is sparse.I hope you have birth dates for her and siblings.I can give you a general search methodology.
The IFHF is creating a BMD database for all Ireland.It is 1/3 to 1/2 complete.This org. charges a 10 euro fee for EACH detailed record; therefore, guessing gets expensive.Records for Westmeath are online.
Go to http://brsgenealogy.com/http://brsgenealogy.com/, register, then search the database for births.Search for Bridget first.There may be several hits.Use the other childrens' birth records to verify by focusing on the parishes.Assume they were all born in the same parish.One of the baptismal records SHOULD list the names of the parents.Then search for the marriage records of EACH parent.The records may or may not be in the same parish as the children's births.Sort the marriage records by parish starting one or two years before the birth of the first child.When you find a marriage record for EACH parent in the same parish for the same year, you probably have found your ancestors.
Note, this will take quite a bit of time.
