Hi Ricky
You may know that the Kell family tree on ancestry has John Kell born North Carolina 1788 father William born 1750 North Carolina & his father Thomas born Ireland 1725
There were no birth/baptism records of Thomas on www.rootsireland.ie/ but on Family Search (a free site) there are 5 Kell birth/baptism records from Ireland - all from Antrim - 1725 to 1735.
There are no Thomases but a couple of Johns. Thomas's father was William born 1697
I checked the record cited on ancestry as the sources of the birth-place of Williama and it was London Marriages and Banns but I can't see any mention of an Irish birth.
Family Search has a birth of Thomas Kell 1699 Lamesley Durham England; there are other Kells born 1600's also
Maybe you could talk to the owner of the Kell tree kkell to find out where the idea they came from Ireland rather than England came from
