Morning!
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
You could have a look at rootsireland.ie (a subscription site) or familysearch.org (a free site) to see if there are any baptism records for Margaret or a marriage record for Patrick and Ellen. As civil registration doesn?t begin until 1864 there won?t be a civil record for Margaret?s birth. As this is the case, you will be dependent on parish records. These begin at different times in different parishes. You may be lucky and find that Margaret was baptised in a parish in the early 1810s-1820s and parishes records exist. As her parents would have married in her mother?s home parish, this may or may not be the same parish as Margaret was baptised in.
Have a look at the suggested sites and let me know what you think.
Best wishes
