One newspaper report describes it as " ... a mountainous district between Flint and Northop ...".

Many thanks, hanes teulu.

Could you please send me the citation and the clipping?

Have you tried Welshnewspapers on line? eg

see end column

plenty of hit for "flint common".

Wonderful, hanes teulu. Thanks again

Think its Flint Corn[ist], a district quite near to Flint town. Google "Cornist, Flintshire"

There was (and is) an area near Flint town called Cornist. I found this about Cornist Hall, one mile south west of Flint.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornist_Hall

There is an area of Flint called Cornist to this day:

This is just over 3 miles from Northop, St Eurgain, according to Google maps.

It is possible that your ancestors had a family connection to Northop which is why they were baptised there. My gt gt gt grandfather was born Flint Mountain but his family came from Northop originally. I think they were close to Northop from there. It gives the distance as 1.3 miles today.
