I am not a blood relative, but I created a WikiTree entry for him at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Magill-1814 and his familysearch.org number is P355-1BY.

5. William Magill (1889 Belfast-1916)

Haven't traced John Magill after 1901 (although he's likely the John Magill at witness in 1902 At Ellen Magill's marriage)
Both William and Edward didn't marry but Mary Elizabeth and Ellen did have families so possible some of them had children of their own.

Bernard’s 1904 death registration is interesting as their was an inquest (also reported in papers)-
