I saw - and discounted - that Belfast birth, purely on location

But..........the OP only asked for the names of the parents, which have been provided

Interesting that both Rita and Eileen married in Cheshire (assuming the Kenzie marriage is the correct one.).

Eileen's death again, giving DOB which matches that stated in 1939:

MS Eileen Patricia Josephine Kenzie
in the England and Wales, Death Index, 1989-2019
Name: MS Eileen Patricia Josephine Kenzie
Gender: Female
Age: 87
Birth Date: 18 Mar 1921
Last Residence: Church Stretton, Shropshire, England
Postal Code District: Sy6
Death Date: 17 Dec 2008


One daughter was born 1950 in Wirral RD. I don't see any later record of her.

Maybe a possibility for Maureen's birth - but as it doesn't come up on irishgenealogy.ie, I don't know the mmn:

Maureen Pauline Cooke

No reference to married names for the two girls, although the tree on Ancestry records the following as being Eileen's husband

KENZIE, RAPHAEL GEORGE 1918

From the image of that 1917 marriage -

Church - image says - St Nicholas Francis St (google says RC Church of St Nicholas of Myra, Francis Street, Dublin)
Both of full age, Bachelor and Spinster
Edward of 4 Werburgh Street a Soldier in the ?I Guards (so ? Irish Guards). Father Edward Cooke a Labourer
Esther - 0f 115 (?E) New Bride Street, d/o Joseph Neary a Plumber

Births on the site only go up to 1920 - not seeing a civil registration with mmn Neary 1917-1920

Re the Esther Cooke on the ER posted above, at 5 Gray's Yard, Marylebone -

She's in Gray's Yard from 1927 to 1937.
In 1934 and earlier she's at 3 Grays' Yard, and there's an Edward Cooke with her - presumably her husband.

1935 onwards, she's on her own.

COOKE, EDWARD JOSEPH 41
GRO Reference: 1935 M Quarter in ST. MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 674

The tree claims that the son Edward died in Ladybank, Fife in 1990 - but there's no such death on ScotlandsPeople.

In fact there's no death of any Edward Cooke, born 1921-27, anywhere in Scotland from 1854 onwards.

"Proof" offered of Esther's death in 1941 - at least on the tree I'm looking at - is apparently this death (in 1940):

Deaths Dec 1940 (>99%)
Cooke Esther 46 Pancras 1b 133

Location certainly fits with the 1939 census info.

Another tree says she died in 1940 and also gives that death record as proof.

This fits with the above family:

Esther Cooke
in the 1939 England and Wales Register
Name: Esther Cooke
Gender: Female
Marital Status: Widowed
Birth Date: 11 Feb 1894
Residence Date: 1939
Address: 38 Somerset Buildings
Residence Place: St Pancras, London, England
Occupation: Unpaid Domestic Duties
Line Number: 43
Schedule Number: 98
Sub Schedule Number: 1
Enumeration District: ASLN
Borough: St Pancras
Registration district: 9/2
Household Members Age
Esther Cooke 45
[Two closed records ]
Edward Cooke 15 - 22 Aug 1924

BUT -
there are no younger children listed - so possibly the tree owner has just latched on to the two parents' surnames and assumed the Marylebone children were of the same family.

Or else they had been evacuated somewhere and their deaths haven't been picked up to open their 1939 records.

Esther's at that address on the ERs for 1938 and 1939.

Also possible??

Mrs Esther Cooke
in the London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965
Name: Mrs Esther Cooke
Electoral Date: 1936
Ward or Division/Constituency: St Marylebone <<<<<<<<

Esther's birth and marriage are on the Irish site

From a tree on Ancestry

Father Edward Joseph Cooke
Mother Esther Neary
Birth 18 Sep 1931 London, London, England
Death 24 Jan 2015 Bournemouth, Hampshire, England

Death of father Edward Joseph Cooke(1893–1932)
1932 • DUBLIN, IRELAND

1941

Death of mother Esther Neary(1894–1941)

BUT.......there is NO death registered in London to backup the statement about the mother
Nor is there a death for the father in 1932 on Irish BMD


Marriage
29/10/1917 • Dublin, Ireland
Church of St. Francis of Myra, Diocese of Dublin
Esther Neary
(1894–1941)


Apparently, there were three children born in Ireland 1919,1921 and 1924.

The father was allegedly born in Bombay in 1893

You need to look at the Irish genealogy website

https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

Photo of the father on Ancestry - in Army uniform, which would explain how he came to be in Ireland

Buy Philomena’s birth cert to find the info

it was Philomena's parents was looking for but could not find a marriage dont know if her mother married later dont know her first name

Philomena's older sister:

COOKE, RITA BERNADETTE (mmn Neary, per FreeBMD)
GRO Reference: 1927 D Quarter in ST. MARYLEBONE Volume 01A Page 598


Marriages Mar 1951 (>99%)
COOKE Rita B POWELL W.Cheshire 10a 1614
POWELL Joseph E COOKE W.Cheshire 10a 1614




MS Rita Bernadette Powell
in the England and Wales, Death Index, 1989-2019
Name: MS Rita Bernadette Powell
Gender: Female
Age: 79
Birth Date: 5 Oct 1927
Last Residence: Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Postal Code District: Sa71
Death Date: 18 Apr 2006


She's also on Electoral Rolls for Pembroke, with Joseph E , from 1960s onwards.
Joseph Edward Powell died 2002 Pembrokeshire.

You say:
"thank you that was the correct birth for her in Marylebone 1929 she had a baby and had her adopted could she be reg on the mothers name neary"

Do you mean that Philomena had a baby?
Roughly when? Presumably before her marriage in 1952.

The baby's name would not be Neary, if that's what you mean. That's the baby's grandmother's name.

Unless I've miscounted, there were 8 Cooke/Cooke female births in London between 1944 and the time of Philomena's marriage

Marriage posted at 1836 - to SHEPPARD.

Cert. will give Father's name but birth cert. will give you both parents

She had three siblings - see freebmd

No sign of a Cooke family in Marylebone on 1939 register with 4 closed records
