I think the OP has got confused. She was born Irene Rose Whiston and her mother's maiden name was Kelleher. She was born in Salford in 1952 ( see Familysearch). Parents ( names unknown) may have been Irish.

Hi
As Irene's  mother fled from Ireland with her 2 children & used her maiden name to escape personal circumstances

Those children are registered as Whiston - presumably father’s name and a mother whose maiden name would /should be Kelleher.

You seem to know quite a bit about Irene’s mother so if you have her first name and if Kelleher was her birth name, do you have her birthplace in Ireland?

Here is a link to Irish Records but birth records at the moment will not cover the years you would want.  :-\

Family Search have birth indexes https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Ireland_Civil_Registration_Indexes_(FamilySearch_Historical_Records)
