I have just come across the following entry in the Bantry baptismal register - hope this is still of interest, this many years after your original post!

I think the Surname is KELLEHER but it appears in the early registers with only one L (the registers are full of spelling mistakes).  The Bantry register starts in 1888 and one of the first entries is for a Michael MURPHY, baptised on 23 January 1888.  His parents’ names are difficult to decipher but I think they are Tim [Timothy] MURPHY and Ellen KELEHAN [KELLEHAN].  The N of KELLEHAN is written with a flourish and looks like a Y.

Would love to hear back from you.
