The Griffths Valuation survey was conducted in Ireland from 1848-1864. They survey group moved from county to county until they completed the project. A head of household listing was one of the products of the survey and I looked for the name Stephen Denihan. Below are the four closest matches. Assuming your Stephen did not die young, he may be one of the four listed nelow. You can go to www.irishgenealogy.ie to search for Co. Kerry church records.

Hi,
The Stephen Denehan listed for Ballyhagan and Kinnafad is the same person - he is my great great grandfatehr and is not the person jeg is looking for as this Co Offaly Stephen Denehan was married to Mary Hill. He died in 1866.
I realise the original post was made 3 years ago but hope this helps nevertheless!

Jeg,
I realize this is an old post however, I just came across it as I am searching my family history. My great grandparents are Patrick Denihan and Rose Morgan. One of thier sons, John Francis
is my grandfather. So we are distant cousins. I'm not sure if you will ever see this post but I'm looking forward to seeing if you do.
best regards,
Erin
Dear Erin,
I am sure we are related; Rose Denihan Bednar and my mother, Mary Burke McCabe were cousins. Nice to meet you.
