Civil registration of births started in Ireland in 1864. I did search the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie for Martin Murphy civil births in 1866 and there were twelve records but none had the parents you listed.
I also searched the subscription site Roots Ireland for a baptismal record but there were no Murphy baptismal records with a father James and mother with the surname Webb.
I have a feeling that Martin was born before 1864 and he was baptized in a church which no longer has records back to that time period.
Are you aware of siblings? Have you considered a DNA test?
