Hi, I have a Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the UK, 1893. This is what it state on Newcastle Emlyn: Newcastle Emlyn (or Newcastle in Emlyn), small town, Kenarth parish, Carmarthenshire, and Llandyfriog parish, Cardiganshire, on both sides of the river Teifi, 8 and a half miles west of Llandyssil station and 26 miles NW of Carmarthen, population 1753; P.O, T.O. 1 bank; is an ancient place, and was at one period called Dinas Emlyn. It is said that the Romans had a fortress here, and that on its site was built the castle from which the town takes its name. The castle, which forms the chief object of interest was held for the king during the Civil War, since which time it has fallen into decay. Newcastle Emlyn contains Adpar, one of the Cardigan District of Parl. boroughs, which returned 1 member until 1885. Hope this helps, Arlene Berta > Alun, > Sounds to me like Newcastle Emlyn - but it is in Carmarthenshire not > Caernarvonshire.
