Hi Steve
I am currently visiting my parents in N Ireland and we got around to chatting about this thread! Christopher who posted here originally was a tenant in my father's property above the business until he (Christopher) died a few years ago.
I wonder whether you managed to catch up with any of the family in Cookstown at all while you were here? I'm sorry we didn't get any further with this until now....this is of great interest to my father (Jackson) in particular and the family Bible is here in their home with the above mentioned names recorded in it.
All the above information is correct and refers to members of our family in Cookstown. The maker of the CD (or cassette at the time) was around my age and I met her a few times many years ago - this was way back in the 80s! Her father, Dennis, I think, was a cousin of my late grandfather. I'd like to get back to this and my parents might one day like to visit Australia, so there is much interest in learning more about the family members who moved to Australia and their descendants.
I'm trying to find out more, although I now live in England and am not home as often as I'd like to be, and we leave here again tomorrow, but the Charles family from Cookstown are well known to our family in Ballynahinch. I'm happy for you to pm me and I'll see what I can find out. I'm sure we have contact details for the Cookstown family members. I've now shown this to my parents, so they are keen to learn more.....
