William born 1877
George born 1881
Redmond born 1872

 I have been told by family members that Daniel taught at the Giants Causeway school for 43 years and that his brother George ran the post office at the Causeway.

This family are some way related to my husband's great grandfather Allan McConaghy who was born in July 1853 at Carnkirk and married Sarah Jane Diamond.   Alan died on the 9 January 1954.  I understand that they called each other cousins.

I would like to know if I am missing a member of the family that Allan was descended from.  As I have been unable to link the two families together
