FYI .. I've come across what looks like 'Lettice' before in Ebenezer cemetery in Llanllyfni and it was actially Letitia. Llandwrog and Llanllyfni are not that far apart.
Amended ; the Letitia buried in Ebenezer was born 1908, I was just pointing out a possibility.

is this in 1850?
-
the address in the 1850 burial record is Hole in the Wall St, Caernarfon. There's a couple of very brief death notices for this person, where she is referred to as Mrs Lettice Hughes

this is the only Hughes - Letitia/Lettice marriage in the area inthe right time frame that I've seen
Humphrey Hughes
Lettice Roberts
Marriage 27 Nov 1816, Llanbeblig
I've found 4 non conformist baptisms in Caernarvon. All note Humphrey is a mariner
William Hughes Baptism 2 May 1819
Henry Hughes Baptism 28 Sep 1820
Cathrine Hughes Baptism 1 Jul 1822
Humphrey Hughes Baptism 27 Apr 1824

The 1841 Lettice has what looks like Ind ( independent) as her status.
Y indicates Yes , so born in Caernarvonshire.
The fact that the 1850 death is reported in the papers sounds like that this Lettice was worthy of announcing it so possibly the same person.
What do you think?

Both Freebmd and GRO have her as Letitia. GRO as aged 54.

I wonder what the connection is between Ellin Hughes and Letitia Hughes? possibly sister in-law if this Letitia is married to Humphrey Hughes.
