Hi Sharon, looking at unanswered queries and I see 3 possible Ellen's one spelled Houran, and not all records would be available, two Johanna's and different parents.
Kerry church records are now free here, sign in but free, click on church icon and location Kerry and see what you can find but it will be tricky with out an idea who the parent might be. https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ Civil records only commence in 1864 and are on the site.
There was also initiatives to send orphan girls to Australia but not sure of the years off the top of my head but fairly young women were sent. You could ask or look at the Kerry Library site under local studies.
Regards
Pat
