Looking for O'Donovan's/Donovan's in Cobh, Ireland

My grandfather was George Stephen O'Donovan born to John Donovan and Ellen Dunne in Cobh, Ireland (then known as Queenstown) in 1880. The family owned a boot and shoe store, supplied the ships in the harbour and owned a few houses nearer to the docks. His siblings were:
Annie Donovan
Bessie Donovan m to a McDonald
Emily O'Donovan married to Leo Sweeney
Jim Donovan
John Joseph Donovan m to Frances Farrell
Hannah Maria Donovan m to a Higgins
Ellen Eliza O'Donovan m to a Broderick
Margaret Donovan
Mary Donovan
William Patrick Donovan
Josephine O'Donovan
Catherine Donovan
Edward Donovan
Cecily Frances Donovan
Agnes Donovan

Many of the family are believed to still be in Ireland. Our branch is the only one we know of that emigrated to Canada in 1922.
