His daughter, Catherine Frances B Macready, was a minor Victorian poet. Her book, 'Leaves From the Olive Mount', published by Chapman & Hall in 1860, began with a one-page dedication poem, 'To My Father'. The writer Rowena Farre (Daphne Lois Macready) was a great-grand-daughter of William Macready.
