The only way is to checkthe parish records. Have you tried the IGI? If she is not on there, you will have to visit or contact the county records office for that area. Sam x

It is the International Genealogical Index (or something like that) and can be found at www.familysearch.org It has lots of parish records (but not all) and they are mainly baptisms and marriages. Sam x
