Thank you very much.
I think we'er onto a winer here, Marthas 2&3 sons both had Phillipps as a middle name I think I know where I was going wrong there was another family with a widowed Jane Davies and daughters Martha Sarah, Ann and Catherine of similar ages in Amroth, and I was disgarding "my" Martha as that Martha.

Thank you all again for the info

On freeBMD, marriage at Narberth June Q 1849 vol 26 page 989, George Williams. Also on same page is Jane Philipps.
No sign of birth of Martha Jane Davies at right time at Narberth or Pembroke registration districts. However, there are no Martha Davies births listed for 1853 - 1858 inclusive on freeBMD (& up to 5 in each quarter either side of those dates) so you would be better looking at the full GRO index to find her birth. The IGI lists the christenings of a couple of her siblings at Amroth.

[Wirral]

Also on IGI, 3 children christened at Amroth to Robert Philipps & Anne:
James c. 8 Nov 1824
Jane c. 29 Jan 1826
William c. 18 Apr 1828

In the 1851 census, Robert Phillipps is described as a farmer of 30 acres, born Amroth. As a farmer, there may be other records held locally that mention him.

I also found Elizabeth in 1901 remarried to James Bullock and still in the Merthyr area.

Thank you all again for your help.

I realise this is some tome since you posted the message But.. My Great Grandmother was Elizabeth Jane Davies, ( older sister of Martha) daughter of George Davies and Jane Philipps of Amroth. I cannot go any further back than their parents-Robert Philipps b.1783/4 and Thomas Davies b. 1801. I have George and Jane's Marriage certificate (copy) and the relevant census sheets. Please contact me if you want or have any further information.

Hi Chris,
I've only got as far as George and Janes parents as well so far, but have Martha and Elizabeths lines almost sorted going forwards. Have you had any luck tracing the other sisters?
