Lehane family members went to California

Ellen Lehane from Kenmare , Kerry immigrated with family to California , but on a trip home to Ireland , fell in love with John Sheehan , also of Kenmare , so she moved back permanently. She married him in 1868 when only 17 , so immigrated to California at a time before that. Ellen is said to have had an american accent her whole life , so factor that in , and the potato famine of 1847 may have played a part in family members wanting to immigrate to California. Hopefully this may spark some new information for me.
