If it's MacEril you need to allow for variants, here's a few...

MacCarroll
McCarroll
MacKerral
MacKerrall
MacKerril

An Irish accent (which I love) can throw people as 'a' & 'e' can sound very similar depending on which area they're from as well as to the ear of the person recording the info!  ;)

Thank you Annie
I hadn’t thought of 50% of those.
Bad weather forecast for this weekend here so perhaps I’ll find her. One can always hope.

There are Mackrell and variations (MacKrell) in Co Antrim.

In 1850s there is a family Mackrell (James renting from Rev'd O'Neill) living in a parish called Skerry according to Griffiths Valuation. The townland is Carncoagh.   

In 1901 census there  are 11 of that name in Antrim.

I have come across it also in Co Londonderry where I mainly search.
