Looking at the 1861 census, I would say your next move is to get the birth certificate of Evan's son Hopkin Jenkins born about 1855-6 Leckwith. There is a likely birth registration in Cardiff district Sep 1855 (vol 11a page 201). This will give you Mary's maiden name and then it will be easier to look for Evan and Mary's marriage.

Thank you Kiterunner.....I was going around in ever decreasing circles after receiving two wrong certs.

It is easy to become too narrow minded.

I will do as you suggest and start afresh

The birth cert arrived, and from that I have been able to progress to finding and ordering a marriage certificate for Evan.

Thank you again
