It doesn't help that Ancestry still haven't sorted out their links for Capel Curig

Caernarvonshire / Re: Tremadoc(g) DNA link, corn hill portmadoc (porthmadog)

I can't find a marriage for William and Elinor unless someone else can.
The youngest child is 7 in 1851 so I assume they got married 12 months or more before his birth. If Elinor got married at the nearest church/chapel to where she lived then a search of the 1841 census in Ynyscynhaiarn or Llanystymwy may bring up one or maybe 10 Elinors of about the right age. Then you have to research each one you find to see if you can make a connection. (Is that you I can hear groaning lol). Look for 'Ty Bach' at the same time may turn up William.
A small point. It is quite possible Elinor has left home and working as a domestic.
Where did the DNA link come from? DNA doesn't lie. Is there a tree connected to that DNA you can research. If it came from Ancestry then you probably have a lot more connections.
