If you have access to Ancestry you can check the censuses.

If you haven't, put her details, and her family's details on here and people will search for you.

When you say no husband, I'm assuming you mean the mother had no husband.

You can search the GRO(I) index at:

If you buy an Irish b.cert, it's cheaper to buy the UNCERTIFIED registration:
