You figure out who is who by cross-referencing other records, like church and civil and revised Griffith's valuations. Kilshanny church records haven't been filmed by the LDS but Kilfenora have, beginning in 1836, so Patrick's baptism should be there, as well as any children he had in Ireland. If Patrick was born in 1847, his father would have been old enough to be in Griffith's, which tends to confirm that he was James, not Daniel. When you post in the future, be sure to put in a subject line so people searching the archives can find your post. Something like Casey from Kilfenora and O'Grady from Kilshanny would be very helpful.

I know my grandfathers parents for certain because of records from the Church and State in MA but trying to move back from there is a journey that seems to be full of obstacles to trip over. There is a monument in St Mary's Cemetary in Holliston, that claims that Patrick Casey is from Kilfenora and Mary O'Grady is from Kilshanny. it also refers to a James Casey who is supposed to be Patricks mother and a Margaret who is supposed to be his mother There is a death date for James but I can't confirm it with the Church or State There's also a Daniel I've found in my searches who could be Patricks father. So far I've been unable to find definitive proof for either James or Daniel, other than that in his second marriage he had a son and named him James. In his first marriage he had a John, Patrick, Henry and Joseph. "Hi CMere85162, Have you looked at the Griffith Valuation (1855)? It has the following entries: CASEY, Anthony at Doon, Kilfenora Anthony at Kilfenora. Kilfenora Edmund at Kilfenora, Kilfenora James at Ballytarsna, Kilshanny Michael at Doon, Kilfenora O'GRADY/GRADY Captain at Caherminnaun, Kilfenora Daniel at Ballygoonan, Kilfenora Hannah at Kilfenora, Kilfenora Michael at Fanta Glebe, Kilfenora All of these people lived within a few kilometres of each other Of these, I know that Michael GRADY migrated to Australia and that there is some mention of him and his companions in Ch.2 of "Oceans of Consolation" by David Fitzpatrick.
