Cookes From Cloonigan

Thanks Roger. No point looking for things that aren't going to be there. But I must admit I'm disappointed. 

This is the side of the family I at least have some clues for.  I'm wondering how to use the lateral information I got when the new records came online at the NLI. I found birth records for the three children and the "patrons" or godparents are good clues, but I'm not sure how to tease out those lateral branches. I'll keep working on it.

I know this post is here with some time but I may have a little information on your Cooke family, as my mother was Cooke from Clooningan a descendant of John Cooke jnr mentioned in your post as a brother of Michael Cooke .

Claran,

How can we make arrangements to exchange information off-list. This sounds like a real lead.Thanks.

 

I'm living in Curry area, where are you located to see if its possible to meet ?

I'm in the States, in Texas so contact will be email. I do have a blog with posts about the Cookes you could check out.

www.leaftwigandstem.blogspot.com

 

Otherwise we need to figure it out from here.

OK will look your blog and get back here or on blog or we can email each other direct

Here's the post that might help. I know very little about Michael Cooke. He was listed as farmer on my grandmother's birth record, but by the time he came to Boston he was working as a stonemason. His marriage and death records both list his parents as John and Ann. There was another Cooke listed in his household on the 1910 census who could be a brother or a nephew. Not sure. And honestly that's all I know.

Some of my information I'm not 100% sure of at this stage its a work in progress. Your Michael Cooke was indeed a farmer until he sold the land to a John Rowley, you can find him on 1901 census and his grand son lives in the same house as Michael Cooke and family although it probably had a thatched roof back then I can take pictures of the house and land if you like, on the 1901 census you can find a son of John jnr referred to on the griffiths valuation, John and his wife Bridget Cooke with 5 children this had increased to 6 by 1911 but John Cooke was dead by then and his son Thomas Cooke continued with the farming he was also married a Bridget they had 6 children, my mother Josie being the youngest. The Cookes were buried in Banada Cemetary My brother has rebuilt and lives in John Cookes house while I farm the Cooke land and live in a different part of Clooningan. I have a family tree partially done on myheritage.ie we can discuss later if of any interest to you. Are you familiar with the history of the Cooke's of Sligo and their origins in Oak Park in Carlow?
I don't know a lot more than that but just a question about the Feehly's /Feely , you make reference to a Maurice Feeley living with them ,I'm not sure if its the same or a coincide but there lived a Maurice Feely in town land of Drumbaun ( I remember him myself 40 years ago) and his house is about one mile from Clooningan and half way to the village of Curry. About two years ago while at a funeral I was talking with a man known to me as Sean Maurice Feely and he told me his family came from that house and that they were known as the Maurice Feelys because of Maurice being an original and common name in the family. I'll leave it at that for now hopefully there is some information there for you and if you haven't read up on John and Matthew Cooke and their brothers in the battle of aughrim it's worth a read as all the Cooke's in south Sligo are descendants from him.
Regards Ciaran

Wow. This is the strongest lead I've found. My Michael emigrated in 1884 to Boston, but I found a journey BACK to Ireland and I believe the date was 1901. Left and returned during the summer months if I recall correctly. I always thought it was about the death of a family member, but maybe that was the sale of the land or the death of John. What do you know about THEIR parents? I have the names John and Ann down but was never sure about them.  I can't find a birth record for Michael so far in Sligo so I'm wondering if he and family came from an adjoining county. The only Cooke history I'm aware of is The Cookes of the Cavaliers by Keiran Cooke, but the book is out of print and hard to get hold of. Never hear about Carlow. A picture of the house would be lovely.

As to the Feelys...I found alternate spelling in Michael and Mary Ann's marriage certificate: Feehily. Her parents on two documents I found are listed as Patrick Feely and Mary Cahel. I can't find any Roman Catholic records for her birth in Curry village or Tobercurry. As a child, long before genealogy, I was told the family came from "Roscommon" so I wonder since Feelys are thick on the ground there if Mary Ann was born just over the county line somewhere. The Maurice I found only appears in the one census and then disappears, so I have no idea how he relates to the family. I did have a person contact me on my blog and she is from suburban Boston and granddaughter of a Bridget Feely. My dad knew some Feely cousins lived in the Boston area, but had no names for me, so maybe this is the connection.

Let's continue this by email: fitzgerc605ATyahooDOTcom

I'll try to get in contact with Sean Maurice Feellys sister to see if she can help as Sean died last year , l have on loan a copy of that book from Jim and Carol Cooke (she is from Texas) he was to get in contact with Kieran Cooke to see if a reprint was likely. If you Google Mathew Cooke and the battle of aughrim,. I haven't been able to find much details of births deaths and marriages as Curry Church started after most were born. I would be surprised if your feehlys came from Roscommon as its 20 miles to Roscommon border and all marriages were arranged usually within 5 miles radius, The Cooke's may have been baptised in the parish of Kilmatigue/ Tourlestrane as its nearer and they went to school in Banada and were buried there and they were friendly with the Jones family who collected the rent and gave out plots of land . I will keep working on it.

Very interesting posting and bells are ringing. 

My GM was Bridget Feehily Phillips born in 1874 in Cully (may be Curry) Tobercurry Sligo, her mother was Bridget Feehily.  My ancestors came to Boston and my family names besides Phillips and Feehily on my GM's side include Cahill and Cooke all from Sligo.

Due to a lack of records, I have very little information on the Feehily family.  I have had my DNA tested and have found over a 100 DNA relatives all with origins to the Achnory Sligo area.  Has anyone else had their DNA tested?

I will look for information that I have found on my Feehily family.

JOHN! I think we exchanged some emails and messages over on my blog about your Feely (Feehily) connection.

I'm the person who had some possible Feehily relatives in Dedham or Roslindale and some connection to a car dealership. Does this ring a bell? My great grandmother was Mary Ann Feehily (Feely) daughter of Patrick Feehily and Mary Cahill. I feel SURE we have a connection. I also found a Maurice Feely who showed up in my great-grandparents household on the 1900 census. Then he disappeared, so I assume to moved out on his own somewhere in Boston.

I have had my DNA tested and have it up on Ancestry. Where do you have an account? I would love to compare and see if we have a match.  

C

There are a few of the Cooke's have DNA on the myheritage site, who are your Cahill and Cooke family, my great grandmother was Bridget Cahill before she married my great grandfather John Cooke . I haven't done much research in to her yet.
Ciaran.

TheAilurophile

Yes we have corresponded, and I do remember, we talked about the auto sales dealer in Roslindale.  Have you uploaded your DNA results to GEDmatch.com?  If you are not familiar with GED Match it is a site that takes DNA from several sites like FTDNA, 23andme and other companies that do testing.  Once uploaded to GEDcom you have a much larger site to check your DNA on. Think of it like fishing in a small pond and then fishing in a much larger pond.   If you have any questions on this let me know.  I have matched up with several DNA cousins and in at least one case we have identified the connection back to my Phillips Family from Sligo. 

Regards,

John

Ciran.

Are you in the US or in Sligo?

My Cahill connection is thru my GM's sister Mary that married a Francis Cahill in Boston/Brookline USA.  I don't think it was a coincidence that they married as I think they knew each other growing up in Sligo.  I have to dig out more information on my GM Bridget Feehily Phillips, but seem to remember that there was a Cahill that witnessed her baptisim or the marriage of her parents. 

The Cooke's family was all tied in to the Cahill connections in Brookline, unfortuantely they have all passed on, but I am sure I can find some records as to who they are.  The last time I saw one of the Cooke siblings was at a wake and I asked how we were related and she told me we were not, but I am not sure if she really knew.  My mother and her cousin Mary Cahill always refereed to the Cooke's as being related. 

Regards,

John

Ciran,

Here is what I have found on the Cooks.  John Cook born in Erie 1880, father John Cook,mother Catherine Eagan.  He married Bridget Tenre (? on spelling also spelled as Tonra)  her farther was John Tenre and mother was Catherine Mclaughlin.  I have no idea where Bridget lived in Ireland or for that matter where John Cook was from.  I am assuming John was from Sligo.

Hey Ciran,

Well I don't think my Michael Cooke was from Banada...at least not directly. In my experience with the Irish National Library films, you might have a birth year waaaay off (on the other side my ancestor didn't read or write and I'm sure wasn't sure HOW old he was) or you might have a name variation ...say John Michael for Michael. (but with a sibling named John this seems unlikely) but I've had good luck plugging in father's name, mother's name, child's name and getting something. The only Michael Cooke I get for Kilmactigue was born in 1853...still possible, but both parent names are completely different. And the Curry parish records don't go back far enough...he was born in 1848. (or thereabouts) I think my next move is to send for the Boston death certificate and the Irish Civil marriage records to confirm parent names. I do know that one of the witnesses to his marriage to Mary Ann Feehily was James Cook. Anyway, I think I'm stuck until I confirm more information. And, it may be that the records just aren't there for him.

C

The Ailurophile

I didn't mean they were from Banada I only though that they could have been baptised in there as I know all my mothers siblings went to school there and all the older generations were buried there, I can't find any baptism or death cert for John snr , John jnr or their wives but I hope to visit the valuation office in Dublin to see the revision books which show every title transfer since Griffith's valuation ( it will be later in the year before I get time as I will need a few days). The James Cooke who witness the wedding could be their next door neighbour but he would only be about fifteen then , but it could be an other family member . Did you get any DNA match to any other Cooke's ? By the way did you get the email I sent you as hope to get a few pictures for you but need to known I have email address correct.

Ciaran

I plugged my data into GEDMatch, but I need to watch the videos and figure out what to do with the results I got. The match which looks like someone from John's family only matches on 2 sectors. I'm thinking if we are as close as I believe, the match should be stronger. I'm new to the whole DNA thing, so maybe I misunderstood this.

If I could get a sample from my BROTHER and run a Y-DNA, it might be more useful. I'll have to work on that. He's the suspicious type and would probably take some convincing.

C

The Ailurophile

Sorry I wasn't clear about the DNA, I haven't had mine done yet but I will do soon , I ment is have you had a match with other Cooke descendants from Sligo area that you don't know to be related to you? What about the email did you get it? I thought Y-DNA was only to get the male line son father grandfather will it get the result you want as its through your grandmother but I don't know as I'm in same situation as its my Mothers male line, please let me know.

Ciaran

Well all my Irish relatives are on my father's side of the family and all the Cooke relatives are on HIS mother's side. I think Y DNA will pick that up.  I don't think it's ONLY from males in the male line. Anywy, It couldn't hurt. The results I got over on Ancestry are mostly from my mother's side since I only did autosomnal. That test will pick up the father's line, but Y DNA is better for that.

I did get the email and responded today.

John

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner do you know when John Cooke left Ireland and did he and Bridget marry before they left or meet later in USA and where did they settle , she is more likely to have been Tonra as it's a common name in Sligo and Mayo, Tenre name not on 1901 census.On the 1901cecsus there are a lot of John Cookes in Co Sligo but only one John and Catherine married with children early 20s and teenagers but no child named John but at 21 he's likely to be gone from home, they lived in a place called Carrigeenagowna in parish of Tourlestrane / Kilmactigue ( its a few miles from Tubbercurry on the Ballina road).
On 1910 and 1920 there is a family settled in Brookline John and Bridget Cooke with 5 children Michael, Catherine, Mary, Margaret, and Anna. Does this help you?

Ciaran

Ciaran,

The family in Brookline is the Cook family that I know.  I am trying to tie them into my Sligo families: Phillips, Feehily, Cahill family.  I personally knew the son Michael and daughters Mary and Anna Cook.  Thank you for updating me on Bridget's last name being Tonra. 

As I find more about the Cook family, I will update this posting.

Thanks

John

 

JOHN! 

I was trying to answer some questions from Ciaran and found the solution to the mystery of Maurice Feeley. He lived with my great grandparents in 1900 and appears several places in the Boston city directories around the same time. I found him living with them on Endicott Street in the North End. By 1910 he disappeared. I stumbled across a death record for a Maurice Feeley for 1909 and it gives his home address at Cook St. Court (Charlestown) which is where my great grandparents were living. So apparently they were still caring for him. Then I found his application for citizenship. One of his witnesses was a John Feeley. On my great-grandfather's application one of HIS witnesses was a Daniel A Feeley. So, my question is do either of THOSE name ring more bells? Of course John Feeley is very common, but he gives an address as well Endicott Street!!! The very same as my great grandparents. Sadly there is no address alongside Daniel's name. Maurice was born late enough that he could easily have been my great-grandmother's nephew. I'm thinking that's a possibility.

C

Just wanted to provide a link to my latest blog post. Such grateful thanks to Ciaran for his help. This is beyond exciting for me.

John Kane
If you're still tuned to this line, just in relation to your Bridget Phillips , mother Bridget Feely from Cully, Curry Co Sligo. I am to meet with a lady from Cully who knows a lot about the local history, I had a gg aunt Margaret Brett married a Martin Cahill from Cully feb1874 I think they had a shop and farm there all gone an place sold to Patrick Colleary's (Aiden) have you any questions you want me to ask and is there any connection between Philips / Feelys and the Cahill's and if so which Cahill's as there were a few in Cully.
Ciaran

Ciaran,

Thank you for your offer.  I am most curious about the Feehily family, any family still in the area?  Also is there any Phillips still in the area?

My GM was Bridget Phillips born to James Phillips and Bridget Feehily 21 SEP 1874 in Cully.  GM Bridget was baptised in Sept 1874, witnessed by Patrick Phillips and Bridget Mannion. 

James Phillips and Bridget Feehily other children were John baptised in March 1870 witnessed by Patrick Phillips and Bridget Mannion  They also had a daughter Mary that left for the USA and married Francis Cahill in Brookline MA USA.  They had other children that stayed in Ireland.  I only knew my GM and her sister Mary.b

James Phillips and Bridget Feehily were married Jan 1874.  At the time of the marriage James was widowed and it was Bridget Feehily's first marriage.  James father was listed as Thomas Phillips and Bridget's dad was John Feehily. 

My GM Bridget Phillips also had a cousin Kitty Katherine Feehily that married a Thomas Moran in Brookline MA USA. 

Anything that you could find out about the possibility of relatives still in the area would be appreciated.

Thank you,

John

John
I see you had a Philips/Feely line opened on this but I'll reply on this one.
I spoke to the lady and she was able to give me a lot of information on my own family but as she lives on the edge of Cully near where they lived, she spoke of a John Thomas ,Feely who was married to a Haran woman they had three children but she said that they left for USA but knew no more but directed me to a man that grew up a few miles into the town land of Cully. He also spoke of John Thomas Feely so I looked him up born Jan 1915 to Pat Feely and Mary Phillips also Mary 1908 Maggie 1902 Bee 1899 and there may be more he said John Thomas, Haran woman and there girls went to USA but one returned as a married woman to Donegal (I don't know their names or married names) She also spoke of a Jim Philips whose father was Johnny and mother Bessy Scally so I looked them up James born 28/7/1906 died late 80s buried in Rhue cemetery sister Mary E born 5may 1909 no more found on her or any other children Johnny married 16mar 1903 they put Elizabeth on marriage cert but her name in Bridget on her birth cert and Bee on children certs her parent Martin Scally and Bridget Lundy and lived in Cloonaughill which is beside Cully. Johnny died 1 October 1943 age 73 and you have his birth details. You may know all of this and the Feely information may not be relevant but that's all I could find out
Ciaran

Thank you for doing this Ciaran.  I will add this to my file that is growing as I learn more about my grandmother's family.  I did not know of the information that you found time will tell if it is relevant.

Hello,

Noticed this thread as my ancestors came from Cully/Curry area as well - The Jennings.  I wonder if Michael Cooke had a brother named Wiliam Cooke.  He married a Mary Leheny in Feb 1873.  

Roni Lepore

Roni
I don't think he is a brother of Michael. Do you have any more details on William Cooke i.e. who his father was?, on Griffiths valuation 1857 there are three Cooke names William, Laurence and John(Win) in Cloonrane village (this is part of Clooningan Townland) I know where he lived its only about 500 yards from my own house I see they married in Achonry Church and when the first child Bridget was born in 1874 William's address is given as England and Mary's as a village in Achonry but when the next child William is born in 1875 they are living in Cloonrane.By 1873 there are two Cookes listed William and Patrick but by the 1901 Census the only family
one left is Patrick and hi wife Bridget. By 1911 his son Thomas has returned to Cloonrane and he married Anne Gallagher from Cashel. If you have any more information on the Cookes I would appreciate it as I'm involved in the Curry history project that is researching as many of the families listed on Griffiths Valuation through the 1901 and 1911 Census and through to the present day
Ciaran

Hello Ciaran!

I have very limited information on William Cooke - his DOB is 23 Feb 1859 and DOD is unknown.  His parents are unknown.  He married to Mary Leheny (DOB: 31 Aug 1854 - Aclare) and her DOD may be before 1927 in County Sligo.  Her parents are Richard Leheny (1813-1880) and Elizabeth nee O'Hara (1832-1900).  William's and Mary's children are unknown for time being.  Looks like they may lived in Aclare rather than in Curry.  That's all information I have for now.  

I am intrigued that you are involved in the Curry history project.  I am sure that you have heard of The Jennings family from Cully and Curry, have you?  I have tons of information on these family.  Please do let me know if you are interested.

Cheers,

Roni

Oh, by the way, Ciaran, I am working on uploading names and photos of headstones from Banada Cemetery.  I noticed that there are some Cookes buried there as well.  You might want to check it out too.

Have I the wrong William Cooke that was married to a Mary leheny with children Bridget and William?I can send you the children's birth certs if you like. leheny and O'Hara are very popular Kilmatigue/ Tourlestrane names and I do know a Ritchie leheny over there. I know the Jennings family in Cully but I am only working on Clooningan and Cloonrane but I will find out who is working on that Townland. Thank you for your work on Banada Cemetery , I have been in it a few times but I wasn't able to find any of my family headstones even though I know they are buried there.
Ciaran

Ciaran,

I have no clue about children of William and Mary (Leheny) Cooke.  Sure, please send the children's birth certs to dilbretta at hotmail dot com  I have met and spoke with the Jennings family in Cully this past April....we are still figuring out if we are connected or not.  ;-)  Sure, please do let me know who is working on that Townland (and perhaps surrounding Townlands such as Curry, Broher, Aclare, Carrowreagh-Knox and etc.).  My pleasure to create memorial pages for folks with visible and readable tombstones.  My ggrandfather is buried there and his tombstone is not found either.  My current project is contacting a stone masoner/monument dealer to make an inquirey about adding his and his first wife's names to an exisiting plaque at Banada Graveyard.  It is sad that Banada Graveyard doesn't have a caretaker nor person in charge to maintain records for folks who buried there.

I haven't been able to get emails through to you on that address

My apologies.  Let's try this way - dilbretta @ hotmail dot com   (I try not to type out entire email address to let spammers copy/paste).  Hope this works.

For John Brennan

Thank you for the information on Bridget Tonra and John Cooke and their family.  I knew each of the children and was brought up beleiving they were all my mother's cousins.  Turns out they may have only been Irish Cousins originating from the same village and or area in Sligo and then having grown up together in Brookline.  Just received a notice today that your posting was a new one but it looks like you posted in June.

John Bearce

Hi, my husband's grandmother was Mary Ellen Cooke born in 1883 at Clooningan, her father was James and her mother Bridget Cooke nee Dunne. She married a Michael Frizzell in 1912 and had 3 children, Annie, Michael and Mary (my husbands mother). She died in 1949 and is buried in Rhue cemetery. In the 1901 census she had 4 sisters Katie, Anne, Bridget and Norah and a brother Michael.

 

I have some knowledge of this family
I know where all of the above siblings went and married except Katie, I can give you this information if you don't have it .
James Cooke's parents were William Cooke and Cathy Neary she was from Swinford area .
I believe James has a sister Ellen, she was a Nun in New York. An other sister Honoria or Nora married John Kilmartin in Carrowreagh Cooper, near Tubbercurry.
Cath Neary had a sister Ellen married James Rowley and their son John Rowley bought the lease on part of the Cooke land and his grandson John Rowley lives there now and now owns James Cooke's home and land .
I believe William Cooke had at least two sisters, Anne married John Cooke next door and I believe they are my GG grandparents. I also believe a sister who I think was Mary married Thomas Walsh in next townland Rathmagurry ,
Their daughter Anne married to a Martin Brennan.
Ciaran Brett

Hi Ciaran, my husband has only recently started to look up his family history. His grandparents on his mothers side died before he was born so he new very littke about them. he knew he had relatives in Dublin and Carrowreagh Knox but really doesn't know how he was related to them. he only recently discovered his grandparents grave in Rhue cemetery. so any extra information that you would have would be brillant.

Mary

 

 

 

Hello Mary and Ciaran (again),

How exciting to find some more information on some families!  Thank to you, Ciaran, for sharing some more information.  I am able to locate James Cooke's siblings -

Ellen - was born in 1862 and died in New York City in 1923.

Honor - had 4 children with John Kilmartin(GIlmartin) so far and they were Mary Anne, John Joseph (immigrated to California, USA), Catherine and James Patrick (immigrated to the USA and just discovered that John lived in same area as Martin and Bridget Mary Maye (nee Cooke).

Maria - married to Martin O'Hara.  They immigrated to New York City.

Now onto to Mary Ellen Cooke - 

I have a DNA connection with Mary Ellen's sister - Norah Jane Cooke who married Terence Timothy Sheridan through Norah's mother - Bridget Dunne.  Bridget Dunne's parents were John Dunne and Mary Healy and John was a brother to my 3rd great grandfather - Patrick Dunne.  

The question is have your husband done a DNA test?  

Warmly Regards,

Roni

Ciaran is male. He has done a DNA test  but I don't know if he did a Y as well as autosomal. I assume you are speaking to Mary, who I have not "met" yet. I did a DNA test and came out with a stronger Cooke connection than Ciaran, which has led him to conclude that Anne Cook married to John was also born a Cooke. He can explain it all better than I. I am working on getting my brother to do a DNA test, but he is stubborn and a little backward. 

Chris

Mary
Roni has most of the information there.
Honour Cooke and John Kilmartin
Michael 1865
Mary Anne 1870
William 1872
John 1875
Catherine 1877
James 1880

ELLEN COOKE 1862 1923 we believe was a Nun and a religious teacher

I had no knowledge of Maria Cooke and Martin O'Hara (hopefully Roni can help here)

James and Bridget Dunne (as per Roni's list )

Catherine 1884 no information

Bridget 1888 and John T Durcan had two sons John Thomas and Gerard
John T was injured in WW1 and this caused his early death, Bridget returned to Ireland after his death

Honour Cooke 1891 married Terence Sheridan
Patrick 1924 Monica Pierce
Honour 1930 John Casserly
Bridie 1933 Daniel Cusack

Annie 1889 Patrick Cooke
James (Charlie) 1922
(His wife is alive )

If you have an email address I can send the reports direct to you

Hi Ciaran, that would be wonderful my email is moc2807@gmail.com. My husband knew of the Sheridans but didn't know what the relationship was. that make them his Mums first cousins. he doesn't know about any of the others. Are there any Cookes living in Clooningan at present. Regards Mary

Annie Cooke (d.1 Jan 1961) married Patrick Cooke (2 Feb 1889–22 Oct 1964), son of James Cooke (22 Apr 1859-2 May 1922)  and Margaret Ruddy (2 Jan 1858-22 Feb 1919) on 9 April 1921 in the RC Church of Curry. The witnesses were John P. McDermott and Katie Kilcoyne. Their only child was James Charles Cooke (22 Aug 1922–15 Oct 1986) who was known as Charlie. Charlie was my father's first cousin as his mother, Mary Kate Brennan nee Cooke was a sister of Charlie's father, Patrick Cooke.

Hi J,

How kind of you to share Robert Cooke's book.  I will take a look at the Cookes of Co Sligo.  

Thank you very much,

Hello, My name is Patricia O'Brien. On an earlier post from "Ciaran," dated 14 August 2017 01:05 AM, I noticed reference to Thomas Cooke who "returned" to Cloonrane and married Anne Gallagher from Cashel. These were my grandparents. I know some more about them if anyone's interested. Fraupob@aol.com is my email.
