Are you following backwards a child of Jenkin & margaret.

Hi John,
Yes, I've been stuck for many years, but the new £2.50 birth certificates have allowed me to take more chances; I got Elizabeth's on the second hit yesterday after three failures over the years at full price and David and Magdalen on the first attempts today (I found the existence of those two initially on census returns, Magdalen just today). It appears that Magdalen had two illegitimate children, the first when she was 14.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be any parish records online for New Quay (or I just haven't found them yet).
Elizabeth is my wife's great grandmother. I knew that Elizabeth married Edwin Poole and that Elizabeth's father was Jenkin Davies and that he was a seaman. I believed that her mother was Margeret from a process of elimination, and have now found the birth certificates of Elizabeth (b1863) and her siblings David (b1861) and Magdalen (b1872). I expect there will be others too, although none appear on the census returns so maybe not, or they died young.
Steve.
