I don't know where the original parish records are - you could ask the Cardigan library or the NLW in Aberystwyth.

So, the Bishop's Transcripts (the church's own back up copy) were at the NLW in 1949.
My guess is they're still there, so you could contact them.

Alternatively, you could rent the film to view at an LDS FHC near you.
You can search at the URL I gave to see where that is - give them a call before you head down there.
