At the 1792 baptism of Hugh it just says “Park”. Which is the second part of the name on your clip.
(It also says Richard is a brewer)

Same in 1797 (Catherine)

Anyway..I am seeing Tyn y ….  Park

Off looking at census and maps.
Lots of Ty place names… no Parks so,far

Yes, I saw that with Catherine and was wondering if Brewer was the occupation and Park was the place. Couldn't be sure. I'm at a loss the the Ty .... y park though!

I was looking into the possibility it had anything to do with the Parc Glynliffon - before they built the present buildings there?

Tŷ is house, I assume in the park.

ADDED:
I know a little Welsh, enough the read Tŷ as house. A quick translation offered Tŷ yn y parc as House in the Park. It also looks like the K in Park has been altered to C as Parc in being the Welsh spelling.

I wonder what Parc (and where it is)!! The person I am trying to places is a Jane Prichard born 1789. Im a stuck between at least 2 roots to go, one going towards Coedtyno - near Clynnog - which seems a pretty good link as she lived there all her life (as much as the censuses show anyway) or Llanystumdwy - which isn't a million miles away either. Both places seem to have a Richard Jones and Mary (her parents names) having kids in those areas around the same time. If I can place where this park(parc) is, it may give me a clue to which family line she is linked to!
Many thanks for your help!

Which church was used for the baptism? As you say it was from the Capel Curig register I would suggest a house nearby. It is unlikely they would travel more than a few miles in late December to baptise a baby.

Parc Glynliffon was built in 1830, but history suggests there was a house there before. Large houses often recruited workers from some distance away, as it stopped them running home.
