Dunne Family Gyleen, Whitegate, County Cork?

Cork

I am looking for anyone that might have information or know how I can find more information about my great grandmother Catherine Dunne. She was born November 6th 1899 or 1900 in the Whitegate or maybe Ringaskiddy area of Cork, Ireland.  I know that at the age of 11 she was living with her grandparents Samuel and Johanna Dunne. I know that her mother was Ellen Dunne and have recnelty learned that he father may have been Richard Sisk. Although I don't think that is true becuase she is never anywhere listed with the last name Sisk. I think her mother married Richard later in life after my great grandmother was already born.
