There are a few possibles on the Irish 1901 census - assuming she was indeed born in Cork:
For example:
Ellen Rielly in the Web: Ireland, Census, 1901 Name: Ellen Rielly Gender: Female Marital status: Single Age: 17 Birth Date: abt 1884 Birth Place: County Cork Residence Date: 31 Mar 1901 House Number: 7 Residence Place: Carrigaphooca, Kilnamartry, Cork, Ireland Relation to Head: Servant Occupation: Childs Maid Religion: Roman Catholic Literacy: Read and write Household Members: Name Age Henry Edward Appelbe 33 Lillie Appelbe 22 Eileen Maud Appelbe 1 James Long 19 Ellen Healy 17 Ellen Rielly 17

[EDIT: NO, not that one above, of course, as her mother's name's Ellen, not Mary.]
or this:
Nellie Reilly in the Web: Ireland, Census, 1901 Name: Nellie Reilly Gender: Female Age: 17 Birth Date: abt 1884 Birth Place: Co Cork Residence Date: 31 Mar 1901 Residence Place: Barrack Street, Mallow South Urban, Cork, Ireland Relation to Head: SisterInLaw Religion: R Catholic Household Members: Name Age Michael Garvin 38 Kate Garvin 29 Nellie Garvin 4 Hanorah Reilly 18 - sister-in-law Nellie Reilly 17 - sister-in-law
There are only three births that I can see , but none of them is your Helen/Nellie:
This one's parents were John and Catherine -

Looking at Andrew & Nellie's marriage cert for full info about Nellie, in case of further clues
6th Oct 1913, at St Joseph's RC Chapel, Helensburgh.
Andrew Donachie, irondriller, bachelor, 19. Address: 30 Second Avenue, Radnor Park, Clydebank. Parents: James Donachie, coachman. Elizabeth Donachie, ms McDonald, deceased.
Nellie Rielly, domestic servant (general), spinster, 22. Address: 9 Somerville Street, Clydebank. Parents: Patrick Rielly, dock labourer, deceased. Mary Rielly, ms Murphy, deceased. Witnesses: John A Coyle, Jean Connolly.
So apparently born 1891, although her death cert implies 1886. Unless she lied - maybe trying to sound younger, as Andrew was only 19.
There was a Nellie Reilly, 20, living in Bridgeton, Lanarkshire in 1911. BUT that's not her. That Nellie was with her parents James (47) and Jane (48) , and several siblings.

Here's a family which more or less fits the known info:
