Patricia:
I looked at Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie. for baptismal records in Co. Offaly. I found a Hugh Flattery baptismal record in 1835 in the Clonbulloge RC church records. Parents were Patrick and Eliza. I was unable to find a record for a Daniel Flattery in the same time period.
Roots is a pay site to view a transcription of a church record.
I checked the 1854-1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Co. Offaly and there were 13 Flattery entries mostly in Gallen, Eglish and Kilbride civil parishes. www.askaboutireland.ie has the Griffiths data.
I would consider the baptismal record as a lead but you should try to locate the parents names from a death record or other source.
Let me know if you have questions.
