McMEEL/McKENNA in Monaghan Ireland

Working from Austrlia back..
My gg grandfather Michael McMeel came to Australia from Monaghan, Ireland in 1879.He was married to Margaret McMeel whose maiden name was Mcelmeel (just to confuse things).On arrival they stayed with the McKennas of Warrnambool/ Purnim who were cousins/ aunts etc.
I understand that Hugh McKenna died in 1902 but I'm unsure who the other McKennas were.
To our knowledge we are there is only our family of McMeels left in Australia
