Jackson Charles has kindly let me have a look at The Family Register from an old Family Bible which starts with John Charles (December 1834 to 1923) and ends with Verona Charles (January 1891 to 1973).
Jackson's grandfather Jackson A. Charles (October 1884 to 1960) moved to Ballynahinch in Co. Down in the early 1900s and established a business which is still run by the family today.
The specific dates of birth are not shown nor the place of birth but I think most were born in Kildress.

I don't know whether I can be of any help, but Jackson Charles is my father and I know we have family in Cookstown. I have stumbled upon this completely by accident! The family business is still going strong and my brother now runs it with his wife. My parents are still there part time. I notice this was a thread from some time ago, but if Annette does come back to itI might be able to find out more.
Hi ,
Like Annette mentioned in the thread I am related to John Charles ( my GGFather) who came to Inglewood, Queensland Australia from Cookstown. My interest is that I will be travelling to Northern Ireland in August 2011 and will be staying at Portadown, I very much like information about my ancestors. I have a family photo of the Charles Family at Inglewood, will find it and attached later.
