Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
You posted in the Lettermullin RC parish page so I assume Patrick and Celia/Bridget were married in that parish. I searched Roots Ireland in that parish for the marriage record for a Patrick Flahertyfrom 1864-1880. Four records came up in 1870 1872 1875 and 1877. However the maiden name for the spouse was not Flaherty/O'Flaherty for any of the records and the first name was not Celia or Bridget on any of the records. Also records start in 1853 after when Patrick or Celia/Bridget were baptized.
Any other clues on the marriage?

Thank you Roger. I am confused as to,parish names & now interpert Griffiths - that kilcumin parish for lettermullin. So now investigating kilcumin & killannin parishes. Did find a Patrick & Bridget Flaherty ( sponsors - I think, For Colman & Pat Mary Flaherty) July 17 1864, on baptism record - lettermullin on irishtimes.com. Now trying to understand entries on page.
