Have you made an error as you have posted the same name twice.

Yes sorry and what about his birth!

[dathai]

Are you basing his year of birth from an age given at death which are never reliable.
You are dealing with a very common name in Kildare there are several John Kelly's born around that time and i dont know what district in Kildare covers Rathangan see Kildare registration Districts below.

Have you anymore info to add.

What is your source for his year and place of birth?

As John is/was the commonest boy's name, Joseph was almost the standard middle for boys between 1880 - 1950, and Kelly is the second most common surname in Ireland, it is essential to have further information to pursue this matter.
Regarding Rathangan research:
BMD Registration: it is in the Union and Superintendent Registrar's District of Edenderry,
it is in the RC parish of Kildare and Rathangan.
Griffith Valuation: it is in the county of Kildare, barony of East Offaly, but some of it's hinterland is in the barony of West Offaly.
