It looks like the parents married in 1901. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at glanvil3@aol.com.
John:
I found a number of civil records on the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie and the 1901 and 1911 census records at census.nationalarchives.ie
James and Margaret were married in February 1901 about a month before the census was taken. The record shows the names of their fathers.
It appears that Mary Bridget was born in 1902. There are links below for all four civil birth records for the children. The link for the 1911 census is included as well as the 1921 and 1943 death records for James and Margaret.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I did not find baptismal records for siblings or the marriage record. The Athenry RC records start in 1858 so possibly if they were married pre-1858, a record would not be available.
