Some new information I have come across

James McCormick?s marriage to Margaret McCool was registered in Stranorlar Apr ? Jun 1893, Volume 2, page 331

According to 1911 census there were 6 children (all living in 1911)- 2 are with the parents, Peter and Cassie (possibly Catherine):

In 1901 there are 4 of their children in the household- Mary Anne, Peter, Cassie, James:

If this is the same Cassie McCool then it looks like her brother Peter/Patrick went to New Zealand:
"Probate of the Will of Peter otherwise Patrick McCool late of Kinaderry County Donegal Private New Zealand Forces who died 9 June 1917 in France granted at Londonderry to Cassie McCool Spinster."
