I was just wondering - seeing as we only know of about three generations of elves in LOtR (not mentioning he Silmarillion) - if the parent was a Sindar (thus lived in Beleriand) are their offspring considered Sinda by inheritance, or are they Moriquendi? Any responses most appreciated.

I would say that the child of a Noldor is Noldorin and the child of a Sindar is Sindarin, regardless of where they are born.
Moriquend, or dark elf, refers to any elf that never saw the Light of the Two Trees in Valinor. The Sindar (and all other cultures in Middle Earth) in Beleriand definitely are Moriquendi as would be any Noldor born in Middle Earth but descended from the Noldor that left Valinor.
Those are my thoughts.
