Ray:
I checked the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Kilrush parish. There was a John Heher who lived in the The Glen Kilrush town. I assume this is the father of the 1856 John Hehir. ( see below).
I also checked www.familysearch.org for other children of John and Margaret and found a baptismal index record for a Bridget born in 1867.
