Hi Erin, Go to www.irishgenealogy.ie and click on church records and search for the marriage record of Cornelius' parent's marriage. this usually (though not always) gives you the names of both their parents, mother and father. If you can find the marriage record of the the grandparents then you can go another generation back (or look for the baptism record of Cornelius' father first to get names). It is FREE and Kerry, Cork and Dublin researchers have a huge advantage over others as the other counties have to search in the National Library or pay large amounts to other websites to view even one record. You can search with just the surname and the parish and then sift through the lists. I have found a lot by trial and error.
