Mahony family in Carniffath, Trevethin, Monmouth?

[Salamander]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to find a family with the surname of Mahony/Mahoney who were living in Carniffath, Trevethin in Monmouthshire in 1858.  I have not been able to locate this village unfortunately.  Can anyone tell me if it still exists or not?  Perhaps I have the spelling incorrect, although I have located Trevethin and surmise that it was a small community somewhere nearby?

I have scant information about a Michael John Mahony, who was apparently born in Carniffath on 24/4/1858 but cannot verify it.  Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to look for this birth?

Kind regards

Salamander
