Hi Eileen, Cove was the original name of what is now Cobh (pronounced Cove). In the mid 1800s Queen Victoria came to visit so Cove was renamed Queenstown until 1922 when is was renamed Cobh. For Roman Catholic records try St. Colman's Cathedral, Cobh, County Cork and/or Mallow Heritage Centre Bank Place, Mallow, County Cork. Someone provided a contact name for Church of Ireland records for Cobh but I don't have it to hand. Someone on the list will have it. If you wish to find Cobh on a map of Ireland you will find it on Great Island in Cork Harbour. I hope this helps.

All the Church of Ireland records are being transcribed to a data base by the Cobh Genealogy Project under the auspices of Commander Allen Crosbie and his contact information and further details on the project can be found by putting Cobh Genealogy Project into any good searcher. Until a church records have been transcribed in their entirety they are not entered onto the data base, however I understand he will do a page by page search if you know the parish for a fee. Do not know what fee is involved but I am told that the moneys go to further the project.
