Title: Cooke Family Drumaweir Co Donegal
Post by: FiFi57 on Friday 12 November 10 14:26 GMT (UK)

I wondered if anyone has information on the Cooke family from Drumaweir, Co Donegal. I have some information back to Ben and Annie Cooke born around 1851 but wanted to ask if anyone has gone further back?
Thanks

Their marriage certificate should list father's names and occupations. See Introduction to Irish Records for details on how to find the index details needed to order the certificate-

Here's the family in 1901 census-

Possibly Ann Cooke in 1911 census- says's married 41 years which gives you a rough idea of the date to search for.

Just a wild chance my family is from the area.
