Hello Teresa,

There's no sign of Whittaker in Griffith's Valuation for Donegal in 1857 or Tyrone in 1851.

Three items are required when searching for Irish ancestors.

1. Denomination.
2. Parish.
3. Townland.

You'll have to rely on Church records if your ancestors were born prior to the introduction of Civil Registration in Ireland. This happened in 1864. The marriages of Non Catholic were registered from 1845 onwards.
