Llwyn Prisg, Trefeurig

[davierj]

I am looking for information on Llwynprisk (or Llwyn Prisg etc), Trefeurig in the latter part of the 19th century.   In particular the family of Eliza (Elizabeth) Jane Jones who, according to a copy of her birth certificate, was born there on 18 March 1877.   Her father was David Jones who was a tailor, presumably in that locality.   Her mother was Mair Jones, formerly Cleaton, sometimes spelt Clayton.
The 1911 census gives her place of birth as Salem which is near Penrhyncoch.   Is or was Lwyn Prisg a  separate hamlet or is it or was it a house.
My detailed local knowledge of this part of Cardiganshire is fairly limited, any help appreciated.

It looks as though it was a very small settlement, also written as Llwyn-prysg.  This should take you to the map on the Historic Placenames of Wales website:

Thanks for that information.   I believe her father was born in Garth which is close by.   Now I need to trace her mother’s family - the elusive Cleatons (Clayton’s).

Thank you petmas, from birth certificate, Elizabeth (Eliza) Jane's parents were David Jones, possibly of Garth, Trefeurig, and  Mair (Mary) Cleaton.    GRO has a Mary Clayton born 1856 Sep quarter in Montgomery district MMN Roberts.
