Cavan / Re: Cassidy family to Manchester 1850-1860

Thank you for reminding me of our roots.ca…just reread the Cooke entries and refreshed my memory. About 4 years ago there was a Cooke-Sanderson family reunion in Kelowna, BC…for that occasion I had prepared a family history binder with information gleaned from Ancestry, FamilySearch and the local history book, A Tapestry of Time.
The Irish connection was being explored this weekend as some Irish records were free on Ancestry…and ultimately, that lead me here. It is the eldest son, William James, who is related by marriage, for whom I was doing the research.

With aloha,
Alice

Hello Tracker 2,

Thank you for your reply. I am new to forums; learning as I go.
There are more Cookes in Canada…all descendants of William Cooke, 1896-1983. William wed Mary Louise Sanderson, 1911-1999, in 1933…hence the younger cousins of your grandmother.
I do not have access to my notes right now…which Cooke sibling was your great grandparent?
Have found burial records in Philips Park Cemetery, Manchester, UK for Margaret Ann Cooke and her parents, James and Rose Ann Cassidy and some siblings; her husband Fred was buried in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Also found a marriage record for James Cassidy and Rose Ann McCully, wed 4 September 1851, Ballymachugh, Cavan, Ireland on FamilySearch.

With aloha,
Alice

Hello Gavvyn,

I am doing research on behalf of a grandson of Margaret Ann Cooke, nee Cassidy. His father, William Cooke, immigrated to Canada in the early 1900's. Have a fair amount of family information from the various branches - Cooke, Cassidy, Sanderson and Gregory.

FamilySearch has a marriage record for Margaret's parents, James Cassidy and Rose Ann McCulloch/McCullough/McCully on 4 September 1851 in Ballymachugh, Cavan, Ireland.

Just new to RootsChat…looks like an excellent site to exchange information and obtain research guidance.

Best regards,
Alice
