Yes, that would be very helpful. As you see from previous threads, I have been on this search for some time.
If your aunt is a Conboy, she may know about William Brennan's brothers.
My grandfather was a brother of his.
We have been unable to find anything about another brother Thomas Brennan who was in the R I C about the same time as Austin Conboy.
Enjoy your visit.

This is very interesting. Was Austin Conboy a brother of Tom Conboy?
I ask because Liam's second name was Austin presumably named after Austin Conboy who was William Brennan's best man. He was also in R I C.
Are there any photos of William and Mary and/or Liam and Pat?
Liam is buried in the cemetery attached to Mary Queen of Peace church in Glenravel rd. Martinstown, Ballymena.
The grave is shared with Patricia and her parents. Until relatively recently a man from Carnlough used to come to clean the headstone as a mark of respect.

Yes, he certainly was. We have visited his grave and spoken to people in Carnlough who remember him with love and respect.
We even got photos from his school and university - all good.
Could you please give me more detail about your connection to him?
He was my late father's first cousin .

Many thanks for this. He really seems to have been a good guy. All we need now is to obtain some photos of William.
Thanks again.

Thanks for this. I thought the file for my relative was closed. Very interesting new information.
What was your mother's maiden name? Would there be any photos of William around now?
Do you know of any living relatives at all?
We hope to visit Carnlough in the near future to visit his grave.
Kind regards.
Mike Brennan

Thanks for the links to previous threads.
Progress so far -  Copy of William's will from 1939 and GMC record indicating that his son (above) was in Carnlough in 1959.
Now trying to ascertain if son had any family.
Any help appreciated.

Good Afternoon,
We are trying to trace any descendants of the above.
We know he lived at Roslyn, The Bay, Carnlough in 1959.
Grateful for any information received.

Mayo / William Austin Brennan

Can anybody help please?
Trying to trace relatives of the above.
Parents - Mary Conboy and William Brennan.
Mary's father was Martin Conboy and her mother was Bridget Casey of Carheen (Cappaghduff Mayo)
Mary came from a large family and had a brother Austin and a sister Nora.
We think that Mary was a teacher in Belfast and William was in the R I C.
Mary's son William Austin Brennan qualified as a doctor in Belfast in 1941.
Any help appreciated

Thanks Kings,

We may now be able to track him down via GMC or similar.
He may have left the country after his father died in 1942.
Thanks again.
