McLenaghan is quite a common name in Ireland, especially in Ulster. You'll need to give us more details before we can even begin to suggest where you can search for more information.
Is there a reason you've posted on Antrim board?

There will be quite a few William McLenaghans in County Antrim so you need to give us as much detail as possible, starting with dates.

You obviously have some details about William but still aren't telling us enough to help you.

When was William born?
When and where did he get married?
When and where did he die?
Have you found him in any census records?

If he married in Glasgow in 1909 he can't have been born 1900  :-\
Or did you mean to say he married in 1939?
Where does Wales come into this? the latest available U.K. census is 1911.
