Here's a link to Charles McCooke in the 1911 census-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tyrone/Castlecaulfield/Castlecaulfield_Town__a_/867425
and here in 1901 census-

The family were Church of Ireland and the children were probably baptised in the local church where they lived at the time. Marriages usually take place in the bride's church and Charles had 6 daughters so you might be able to get more information in church records (which will not be online).
The online civil registration index only goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland counties which makes things more difficult for finding later details.
If you've lost touch with this branch of the family you could try online sites such as GenesReunited, Ancestry, etc. to see if anyone else is researching them.
However, unfortunately, there will be few online Northern Ireland records for such a recent period.

Hello. You are searching for my great grandad Charlie Alexander. He was a entrepreneur of his time, including tea sales in Castle Caufield in Tyrone. My dad (his grandson) was born in Caufield. He is one of 6 children born of John Parker, the 13th surviving child of Charles.
