The National Library of Ireland has the RC registers free online at https://registers.nli.ie/
If you type Milltown in the parish search box and select Meath from the dropdown list you'll find the baptisms and marriages available; it's hard going but you might have some luck there.

I'm sorry but I made a mistake with dates. My Margaret was born in 1815 and travelled to Australia in 1832 (I confused her with another Irish ancestor, will be more careful in future)
Apparently she was born in Dublin Army Barracks where her father James was in the 11th Foot Regiment and was discharged in 1836 aged 48
I have Margaret's mother's name as also Margaret, but no other information on her.
Thanks for your reply and sorry to waste your time with wrong information.

No luck with finding Margaret's baptism around 1815 or parents' marriage on rootsireland or www.ieishgenealogy.ie/ I'm afraid Aurora
