David Williams born around 1786 in Carmarthen, married Ann Morgan 17 Jul 1814 in Newport, two sons that we know of William born about 1825 and Thomas born 3 Aug 1828 in Newport. David's mother might have been named Jane. David and Ann were buried Mt. Zion Welsh Congregational Chapel, in Newport I assume? My family has been searching since the early 1960's with no luck so far.

Have you accessed the parish record? Luckily you have the church:

17 JUL 1814 St Woolos, Newport, Pembroke, Wales

Might be a bit of useful info on there, who knows?

I see the entry which states mother as Jane.

Can you explain how Pembroke fits into the place? I've seen that name and Gwent when I type in Newport Wales, but I don't understand where that is or how it fits in with where I need to search.

This church I mentioned wasn't erected until 1834 so it has no records of the family before that time. The genealogist hired by my family searched all the non-parochial and nonconformist denominations in Newport. The only info that was found was from St. Peter in Carmarthen, which is what I provided. Sigh...

I only have a standard membership for now, brummiejan did you pull up the parish record, and find something? I will have to save up and upgrade as soon as I can if you are accessing that kind of info :)

Suzanne, I just got that from IGI as I expect you did too? Familysearch site. I'm not sure if Ancestry would have it, I think they only have London area, but I could be wrong.
Pembrokeshire is in West Wales. There is a Newport both there and in Monmouthshire! It depends which area your family comes from as to which you think is relevant - they are about 100 miles apart. But on a quick google search for St Woolos only Newport Monmouthshire seems to turn up.
Don't know if you have done this, but I find "google maps" very useful - it can give you an idea if you are on the right track location wise.
The other option is to get all the details of the marriage from the IGI and find a Mormon family research centre near you (hopefully!), who can order the parish records for you to see, both marriage and birth. The image has reference numbers which I assume you need.

Maddie I can't seem to find this record, I know I've seen it before, but today it's missing...lol. Phillip and Jane listed as David's parents.
