Title: McCook's / Cook's of Argyll
Post by: KMcKenzie on Monday 25 July 11 16:37 BST (UK)

Hi,

I'm looking for anyone who is descended from any McCook's or Cook's from Argyllshire. The main areas of interest for me are Killean and Kilchenzie and Saddell and Skipness.

I have got back so far as my 5x Great Grandparents William McCook and Mary Dewar who were Married on the 7th October 1798 in Killean and Kilchenzie. So far I have found 5 children of their - all boys.

They are -

John McCook. 25 February 1801 - 5 October 1888. Married Mary Taylor.
Duncan McCook. 30 January 1803 - 16 December 1885. Married Elizabeth McGougan.
Archibald McCook. 14 March 1805 - 13 August 1880. Married Janet McMillan.
Donald McCook. 24 March 1808 - ?. No Spouse Found.
William McCook. 23 July 1815 - 9 December 1895. Married Mary McKeich (or Keith).

If anyone recognises these names in their own family, please get in touch. :)

Hi,

I have a James Cook born 1826 Skipness/Saddell Parish, buried in Skipness, died 16 09 1905.  He was a shoemaker as was his father. He married Flora Stalker on  18 05 1857, at Carradale, Saddell Parish, they had 6 children, 4 lived.  They resided in Dunoon. This is a later Cook than you have ,however, the relationship could be there somewhere.
