Sorry I should have said I cannot find a marriage between William Jenkins and Elizabeth James.

I believe Elizabeth James married a Watkins in Oct 1823. The child adotpted his step fathers name and can be seen living with an Emmanuel James on the 1851 census.

Hi Tony

I have come across that with my family but they were married.
I suppose it's a bit like birth certificates that give both parents names.

The baptism of William Jenkins at Newland on 9th May 1823 shows the father as William Jenkins and the mother as Elizabeth James.

I can find no other baptism record for this period that list the maiden name of the mother does this indicated that the father and mother are not married?

Regards

Tony
