Hi James,

The 1911 Irish Census is free to search online ( http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/). There are 7 records of Nellie O'Brien aged 5 + - %years in Cork including this one:

SurnameForenameAgeSexRelation to headReligion

OBrienJohn36MaleHead of FamilyRoman Catholic

OBrienHannah35FemaleWifeRoman Catholic

OBrienJames2MaleSonRoman Catholic

OBrienNellie5FemaleDaughterRoman Catholic

None are from Fermoy or Grange though

www.irishgenealogy.ie/ has this one in Church Records:

NameELLEN O BRIENDate of Birth04 December 1906Group Registration ID401553SR District/Reg AreaFermoySexFemaleMother's Birth SurnameO BRIEN

If you click on the Image option it gives father as Richard O'Brien Farmer Kilcumner & Mother also Ellen & name at birth O'Brien

There are a couple in Civil Records also:

Does your birth certficate have a father's name?

Are either of your sponsors still alive?
