Can any one point me in the right direction, my grandfather was put in a childrens home about 1880 not sure why in Cork.

Have you found the family in the 1901 and 1911 census? It's free at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ or just google 1911 irish census.

There's also a thread for Irish records which I'll add to this in a mo'
Here it is.....
