Thanks for all your help this is great.  As you say they may have married in England as George was English.  In Ireland he was a coastguard in RockIsland, Tramore and Bare Island

Daithν has posted the Marriage and there is something for 1911.

Thanks again for this information.  I have their marriage certificate for Stoke Damerel.  The frustrating thing about doing this genealogy stuff is that the names of the parents don't match with the one I have for a birth certificate for George Weeks in Bedminster (an area of Bristol).

Thanks again this is all great stuff.  I want to find out about Margaret, her parents, etc.  She claims she was born in Queenstown but I cannot find a birth register for her from there and so am stuck trying to go back down the ancestral line to find out my Irish roots through her.

OP
Do you have the marriage certificate for George Weeks to Maggie Donnelly which dathai found?

Quote

1896 Stoke Dameral,Devon to Maggie Donnelly
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2D1V-15F


If so, what is the name of Maggie's father and what is his occupation?

Edit to add:

From reply #11, appears you don't have it. Let us know the information when you receive the certificate.
