I just heard back from the "Ask a Librarian". I was told that were both noted to be serving in Australia.

After a few quick google searches, I found findagrave memorials for John (1972) and Dan (2010). I also found a nice transcript of Father Daniel's eulogy.

Thank you for all your help!

Father Dan Magill was a redemtorist priest and died about 2011 in Perth. His brother John died over 35 years ago. I never met him and not sure where he is buried.

Thanks Minnie
Did see that, Uncle Dan (great uncle) was a very special man. My husband, who is the relative, grew up calling Dan Uncle Dan the magic man. He baptised some of our children when he was back visiting Matamata where he grew up.
