John James McWILLIAM of Lisdaly Croghan Co. Roscommon, Ireland

Seeking descendants of John James and Sarah Agnes (nee McKINLEY) McWILLIAM. John James was born in December 1961 at Lisdaly, Croghan, Co. Roscommon to John Alexander and Phoebe (nee JOHNSTON) McWILLIAM. He and his wife had the following issue according to the family's entry in the 1901 census of Toronto Canada:
John Jr., born 06 October 1891
Margaret or Margerette Agnes, born 14 April 1893
Mary E. (Elizabeth?), born 20 April 1899.

Family records suggest that the couple also had two other sons, possibly born after the 1901 census. The names we have are Alexander and Jesse.

I am a descendant of John James' youngest brother JOHNSTON and a keen genealogist. Over the course of the past six years we (Johnston's other descendants) have located John Alexander's parents' graves in Christchurch New Zealand as well as many kin in Australia and New Zealand. As of today the only missing branch in our extended family tree going back seven generations is John James' line. We have some evidence that one of John James' descendants is/was E. Bruce McKenzie of Monterey California. Any leads on this family would be most appreciated.
