Identify people from old cinefilm, possibly Cork?

    Any suggestions as to how I would go about tracing people that are in a piece of film I have with the intention of passing it on to them/children.

    Backstory - I have a lot of old film that I had restored, I have identified practically all clips but have a clip of a family holidaying in a B&B in Castlegregory somewhere between 1959/67 ish, the children in the film are most likely in their 50s/60s now so possibly on social media. Are there any local type FB pages that would be useful for this sort of thing? I have put this in the County Cork section as a lot of the visitors to the B&B every year were from Cork/Limerick but that's not a guarantee either. I have a photo of them taken from the film that I can use to post anywhere that might work.

    It would be nice to be able to give it to family as I find children/grandchildren love seeing old film of the adults in their life.

    I have tracked down people all over the country through various methods but in most cases I had names for the people but nobody I have showed it to in my family who might know has any idea who they are, not surprising really if they were just paying visitors as opposed to relatives.
