dont know if you've made any progress with your search for John Farran since you posted this....  since his birth is well before the start of full civil registration in 1864, you will first need to know the family religion and then check what parish records are available for the parish where the family lived.

see : Introduction to Irish Records

It's worth searching for details on John on all the applicable English census returns to see if he ever entered a county or more detailed place of birth. It's also worth following up a search for his marriage, as you would probably need to know additional details on him (e.g. father's name) to confirm any Irish records you might locate later.

My family were named "Farrand"  and lived in Ireland around the right time. Several branches took or were given the name Farran. They were of French origin, many were lacemakers, textile trade, protestants (some unitarian, some Quakers so may not be in standard church records). My William Farrand born Armagh Ireland about 1783 became Farrand once he went to England.
