Kellehers Gurranacopple

Can anyone help me. I believe I have traced My family back to a Bartholomew (Bat) and Daniel Keleher where from Clondrahid in cork. I have been there on 2 occasions and it is such a small place I do not think there are many people living there. Here is some information you may be able to use in your research. My father was born in 1936 he was the eldest his name was Daniel (Donal) Kelleher he had two sisters and a brother Johanna (Joan); Mary Brigitte; and Michael. My Grandfather Hugh (Goff) was married to Johanna Kelleher I do not know her maiden name I was named after my Grandmother who unfortunately died around about 1944 when all her children where young. My Grandfather owned a large amount of farmland, which had a name something like Gurranacopple. All this branch of the family moved to London during the 1960s the land was stoney and hard to farm for my granddad a single parent with four young children. My dads family sold the land during the 1970s after my granddad died, this land now has other houses built on it with the original farmhouse having been restored. There is a churchyard in the village with lots of gravestones which may prove useful for family research my grandfather is buried there with my grandmother. Unfortunately my Father died in June 1981 when I was 20. My father had 5 children Me Johanna; Margaret; Daniel (Danny); and twins Thomas (Tommy) and Theresa the girls have all had children but unfortunately the boys have never married or had children. My uncle Michael has had two daughters, but no sons Susan and Debbie Susan immigrated to Australia during the 1970s as a child. My Aunt Mary who died in about 1998 only had one illegitimate daughter who was born in about 1958 /59 she was also called Joan (Johanna) and was put up for adoption. My aunt Joan (Johanna) married a man called Christakos and has had three children Miranda; Helen and Michael, who have all had Children. Unfortunately this now means that my side of the Kelleher name will end because none of the males have had sons. I married Stephen Anderson whos family originate from Glasgow and have had three children Martin Daniel; Dean Andrew and Hazel Elisabeth. My dad married Margaret Geraghty who was from Dublin, her mum and Dad where Thomas Geraghty a butcher and Elizabeth Best who originated from Northern Ireland I think she may have been a protestant.
