I am Rob McGinn from Thunder Bay Ontario Canada and I have stor(e)ys in my Cooke family tree. Basicly John Story of Cavan married Kitty Hardcastle and they had a son John who married Mary Cooke d/o Thomas Cooke ( Thomas born about 1750). About 1825 John and Mary Story left Ireland and ended up in Elizabethtown, Brockville area of now Eastern Ontario. In the 1851 census they were in Elizabethtown, John, Mary and children with old Thomas Cooke, occupation "Invalid", age 102! Rob

Hi John, Thanks for that, there could be quite a possibility that there is a connection, but at this time it is hard to say, the information we have at this stage regarding Francis snr, his siblings, parents, marriages, & family is very sketchy, basicly what I posted is all I have at this stage Cheers Carole ----- Original Message ----- From: "JRMcGinn" <rob.lou@acoservices.com> To: <irl-cavan@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 5:53 AM Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] Story/Storey Family > > Carole asked: >> Hi, I am new to this list, I am researching the Storey/Story Family from >> Bawnboy, Belturbet, Templeport areas,, my Grandfather Henry Storey/Story >> was b abt 1845, his parents were Francis Storey/Story b abt 1795 & Jane >> Harvey, product of a second marriage, Francis was married to Jane Davis >> previously, children from that marriage to date, were Francis b abt 1825, >> Jane d abt 1850, George, William b abt 1832, & Robert., Francis jnr >> William & Henry all emigrated to New Zealand , > > Hi Carole in New Zealand! > I am Rob McGinn from Thunder Bay Ontario Canada and I have stor(e)ys in my > Cooke family tree. > Basicly John Story of Cavan married Kitty Hardcastle and they had a son > John > who married Mary Cooke d/o Thomas Cooke ( Thomas born about 1750). > About 1825 John and Mary Story left Ireland and ended up in Elizabethtown, > Brockville area of now Eastern Ontario. > In the 1851 census they were in Elizabethtown, John, Mary and children > with > old Thomas Cooke, occupation "Invalid", age 102! > Rob > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > IRL-CAVAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
