Ellen O'Neill - family from Cobh, Cork

I searched the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B 4 1840, rare B4 1800.
For Ellen O'Neill B 1898 +/- 4 yrs in this database, I found 63 B rcds. The database doesn't include Cobh, Cork.
B/M/D registration was civil after 1863. Civil rcds are kept by the General Register Office. Contact this office at http://www.groireland.iehttp://www.groireland.ie. I believe the fee is 10 euros for each name searched.
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
