Ann There is a Birth for James Cook 24 Feb 1864 Reg Omagh..parents Edward Cooke and Sarah McKeown.I havent found any others for this couple so far but given that an Edward Cooke was listed on Griffiths Valuation for Dunbreen 1848-64 its a distinct possibility these are the parents...

Cooke Edward Dunbreen Drumragh Parish

Edward Cooke married Sarah McKeown (McKewn) Cossroads Presbyterian Church Cappagh Parish 17 March 1846.....So there would appear to be quite a few children of that marriage to be found...

Ann..Next door to Samuel (1901) were his mother and the two brothers William and James.....

Thanks for the info Ann. It would be easier to reply on here, using the add your reply at the end of the page.

There is too little information. You could try familysearch and see if they come up on there.

When?

And what do you wish to know?

Hi Ann,
Welcome to the boards.
Do you have any other information on the sister's. Ages, when did they emigrate, did they travel together, occupations, etc... Pam

Looking for Elizabeth, Sarah, Annie, Martha,(surname Cooke) four sisters who immigrated from Co Tyrone to America
