Parish records for baptisms sometimes show Guildielmi Brenna & Brigida Grehan
Michael Brennan born 1816 Rosecommon possible sister Johanne and brother Bryan
Wife Bridget Green or Brigida Grehan on baptismal records
Son Michaelem Brennan born 10 May 1835 Rosecommon
Patrick born 1838 Boyle Rosecommon
Mary born 1839 Rosecommon
Catherine born 1840 Boyle Rosecommon
John born 1840 Rosecommon married Ann Healy daughter of Patrick Healy & Mary Meaney in Falls View Welland Ontario
19 Feb 1865 - 4 children that I can find - John Brennan was in Niagara Area about 1863 - listed as Labourer
I believe this family was on the 1851 Censu Burton upon Trent England with border (brother? Bryan) they are gone by the next census.

Welcome to the IrelandXO County Roscommon Community!
The couple you are looking for is:
William Brennan & Brigid Grehan aka Greaghan (Boyle RC)
So please join the BOYLE civil parish and add it to your post there. (Killukin Boyle is not your home parish)
William Brennan & Brigid Grehan have baptismal records for the following children:
Michael Brennan b. 1835 | Margaret Brennan b.1838 | Alice Brennan b. 1842 | Eugene aka Owen Brennan b.1848 | Bernard aka Bryan b.1851 | Mary b.1852 | Anne b.1854
"Michael Brenan & Brigid Grehan" baptising in (Boyle RC) was a clerical error. Should have been William.
William Brennan's siblings were: Michael Brennan | Timothy Brennan | John Brennan | Mary Brennan |
The sponsors they invited as godparents, hold some clues to their siblings and in-laws:
Michael Grehan fl. 1835 Elizabeth Coyne fl. 1835
Timothy Brennan fl. 1838
Brigid Cryan fl. 1838Catherine Grehan fl. 1842
Terence Oates & Maria Brenan fl. 1848
John Brennan & Mary Brennan fl. 1851
Denis Oates & Anne Kelly fl.1854
Michael Brennan & Anne Kelly
