The marriage certificate from 1936 should give the name of her father. Her birth certificate would be better if we can find a birth for her.
Free BMD index is a good place to start. Will have a look for her.

Birth Dec 1914 Ruthin registration district
Cooke Ceridwen mothers maiden name Williams
You can use that information to look for a marriage for her parents Cooke male Williams female.
Plus check the other siblings births to check mothers name Williams as confirmation this is the correct family.

There is this marriage in Jun 1914 Ruthin
John Cooke
Elizabeth Williams
Do you know if the family stayed in the same area or when the other siblings were born?

Glyn Cooke
Trevor Cooke found a birth that might be him 23 Oct 1911
And a sister eluned
That's the only information she has
Ceridwen moved to Carmarthen as I found her in 1939
Thanks Wendy

I couldn't find a Trevor but I see where you got the birth date from. He seems to have a middle name Williams? which would link him to the same family. Perhaps he was registered as Williams at birth if parents not yet married.
Would suggest either getting her marriage certificate, as that you can be sure is the right person, or taking a chance the 1914 birth is correct and getting that one to find both parents names.

Yes this might be him.
Dec 1911 (which would cover an October birth) Ruthin
Williams Trevor - no mothers maiden name listed
Perhaps the other siblings are under Williams as well if they were older.

Northwales bmd shows this as a Civil marriage, so you need to buy the certificate
