There are about a dozen Patrick Philips listed in Griffith's Valuation c 1850s.
Some are duplicated,so that narrows it down to:
2 in Cavan,
5 in Mayo.
2/3 in Louth.
I haven't looked into it in any detail,so some of these might also be duplicated.
I can give you more details if you think it might help.

I have a feeling I may have seen Jackson in the coastguard records for Galway and there was a Lachan McLachan in that area whose family also may have had coastguard links. Check the coastguard book online at uk national archives.
