Some years ago I received lots of help on this site regarding a Phoebe Caroline Jackson, widow, who married in LAMBETH, in 1822. The first child from this marriage was Elizabeth Mary Ann DAFFEN Brigden, Newington, 1824. Phoebe was a Barling by birth and her parents marriage in Rochester, Kent, 1773, gave her mother's name as DAFFORNE. It might be worth considering various spellings of the name Duffin.

Look for births on the GRO site (free, though you have to register) , using both parents' surnames.
You'll have to search for females and males separately, and can search in 5-year slices.
