It says that the wages are very small in Denbighshire, then gets harder; some mention of the price of something in shillings and food during the week.

Agree with Pinot..

"... may [mae] y cyflog yn fychan iawn yn shir[Sir] Dinbych  ..???.. (yn?) 3 swllt, haidd (with a curled 'd' - the alternate way if writing "dd") yn 5 swllt, a bwyd yn yr wythnos"

transl.: "... wages are very small in Denbighshire ... ??? is 3 shillings, barley is 5 shillings, and food in (during?) the week..."


unable to decipher what the ??? refers to
Jones, Hughes, Williams & Evans  - Rhyd Ddu, Arfon
Jones - Pentraeth & Traeth Coch, Ynys Mon/Anglesey
