Hi Thomas Also look at Irish newspapers -- either on British Newspaper Archives or Findmypast.co.uk (same collection) Subscription sites although searching is free ....
See https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search/irish-newspapers?keywords=james%20coo ke%20strabane Several snippets pop up regarding marriages, etc for children of this couple. (It is possible to "tease" the search parameters to get more wording for the OCR snippet, if you don't have a subscription or you're out of credits!) Other search terms and combinations may be worth trying. Good luck!

As you can see the graveyard is on Patrick Street, Strabane. Plot No. D30. I've looked on google maps and there is an old graveyard on the corner of Patrick Street and Church Street. I've attached an image from Google Earth taken from the Church Street side. No doubt locals on this list might be able to provide more information. I do hope this is helpful.

My ancestors are James Cooke and Martha Cooke (and their daughter Anne). According to your records they lived in Strabane and died in 1844 and 1848 respectively. I was wondering of anyone knows of their final resting places or any other information about them. Thanks very much Tom Thrailkill _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList mailing list CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com http://mail.cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneirelan d.com _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList mailing list CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com http://mail.cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com
