Reading Felix Mckillops history of the Magills of Carncastle might help... or not...because there were alot of families of that name living in Carncastle and yet they weren't related.  However he does a good job of explaining who is who as far as one can. Good luck in your search

I wish I could help more but I know of no other living relative. As for finding photos, I can only suggest asking at the Londonderry Arms Hotel which he may have frequented, perhaps there may be photos of functions held there or contacting the Larne Times the local newspaper which would have photographed
such events.  My mothers maiden name is Doyle. Good luck. J Magill

William Brennans son did become a doctor, a surgeon apparently but later became a GP in Carnlough.  He and his wife didnt have any children.  He was acquainted with my grandmother who having split up with her husband before the birth of her second child, subsequently gave birth to a daughter but died 4 weeks later (of afterbirth complications).  Dr Brennan and his wife wanted to adopt my mother...but only her, not her 3 year old sister and their aunt refused.  He practised medicine until the late 1970's and remained in Carnlough until his death.
