Looks like you have done some research. You need to do some more to find his family in Baltimore. The 1860 and 1870 censuses are your best bet.
For the surname Healy in Ireland, there are currently 18,668 B rcds dating from abt 1759 and 7,308 M rcds dating from abt 1740. The Irish often named their children using a naming tradition. There were likely other Philips in his lineage. The forename Philip is one of the rarer forenames. The surname appears most concentrated in Kilkenny, Limerick, Roscommon, Dublin and to a lesser extent in Cork, Louth and Cavan. There are only 22 Philip Healys in the database. They date from 1812.
When you find the names and DOB for the emigrating ancestors in the census, hopefully one of their children will have been born in Ireland. This is much easier to find. When you find this info, research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,000,000 surviving rcds for abt 65% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800.
Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 35%.
Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.
Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).
Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
