Hi Suzanne, you do not give a name or year to check a birth or marriage and the name, also there is 1 Coole Baroney, I Coole Parish and 2 Coole electoral divisions and over 20 Coole townlands in the civil register, you can see here,https://www.townlands.ie/ ; these are civil areas and religious parishes may be slightly different.   if you want to check some BMDS online free you can see births here from 1864 to 1920; marriages to 1941 (Protestant marriages from 1845) and deaths to 1970. https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ Click on Civil Records and follow instructions to see the civil register, the church records on this site are not complete.

We do not do living people on this site and you would have to be lucky to have it picked up, if you can locate a county there are a number of Private Facebook pages in for each county doing genealogy locally and you might find some one there that knows, they are usually very well moderated too.

Is you grandmothers name same as yours.

Good Luck

Pat

Hi Suzanne, sorry for my delay in replying but was avoiding genealogy for awhile, I see Rose died at 33 years of age from TB in the Workhouse, you should be able to find her marriage and death here https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ click on civil records and sign in but all free then, (No church records for Westmeath there)  you should be able to find the marriage etc back to 1864 at least, that is civil records start date. There is also Griffiths Valuation and you can see the maps and also scroll to the modern map too, I think it is the McCabes in Mayne that is Coole, civil and religious parishes are not always the same, you can see Griffiths free here http://askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=nameSearc…;

When you locate the marriage the address or townland where they lived should be there and the fathers name, the McCabes in Mayne were Michael and Owen, only heads of house given. The civil districts can be seen here https://www.townlands.ie/

There is a private Facebook page for Westmeath Genealogy if you want to try your luck there, if you have any specific queries let me know, really odd that the children were depsotied in the London Convent, wonder if there was a relative there or some such, I think children were often farmed out following the death of the mother though you would wonder why there were no aunts or uncles. Also at this time in Ireland due to land agitation over the previous decades tenants could buy land at market value from the landlord and they had to see under the Land Purchase Act, oddly this Act only applied in Ireland, hence we have a lot of small farmers.

Good Luck
