I have traced my 4 x g grandfather on the 1841 census and it states that he was born in 1764 Lamphey Pembrokeshire. I cannot look at the parish records for his birth as they no longer exist. Do you have any ideas on how I can find information of his siblings and parents? Jackie

Have the record office for the area told you that they dont exist then?

Are the Bishops Transcripts available if the Parish Records have been destroyed? If not, I'm not sure that there is anywhere else you can look. Sam x

Looking at Genuki, the BT's don't begin until 1799 so unfortunately I don't think there is anything else you can check. Sam x

What is the surname? If it's not too common you could try searching on the 1841 [and other possible censuses] for anyone with the same surname born in Lamphey. You might find some younger silblings that way.
