Hi
Yes Ellis John Roberts is buried there according to GFHS. Missed it because the inscription appears to be just Ellis Roberts. I'll check it out later this afternoon and get back to you tonight or tomorrow morning.

Hi
Had problems recently trying to send reply  - seems OK now.
Burials are in Moel y Gest Cemetery  (Gwynedd Council), on the outskirt of Porthmadog (Portmadoc) off the Porthmadog to Criccieth & Pwllheli road. It's on the left, out of sight   - single track road near end of 40 mph section.
Transcription in GWYNEDD FAMILY HISTORY publication M 081  Part 1  has number of errors.
Inscription is in Welsh, corrected info.
John Roberts, 9 New St. Portmadog died 28/04/1914 aged 63
Also his Wife Laura, died 29/09/1921 aged 71
AND their daughter Ann Jane, died 14/05/1910 aged 28
Thomas, their son drowned Newfoundland aged 17yrs

Thomas was an Ordinary Seaman on a Porthmadog sailing ship when he drowned. It's recorded in Deaths at Sea Register.
Censuses before 1901 they were living in Llandegwnning and Llanengan Parishes, between Pwllheli and Aberdaron.

Which Censuses have you got info for ?

Hi
According to newspaper account Daniel died unexpectedly at, or outside, his son in law  William Griffith Thomas' house. William and another worker died the following day in a quarry accident, and an inquest was held for the 3 the same time. According to Probate, Daniel's address was 28 County Road, Penygroes, and place of death Girianfa. According to newspaper William's address was EIRIANFA (a common house name), High Street, Penygroes. In my opinion Girfania should be EIRIANFA.

Hi
 Was about to Reply re. the burial when a message came up that 2 other Replies had been posted! 1861 Census was night of 7th April, so Elizabeth should be on a Census somewhere, but can't find her.
I'd also found in Welsh Newspapers, a legal case where he was involved. There was a dispute as to who he, as Master and majority owner of the Harriett and Jane, should pass on a payment. When the matter was decided he immediately passed it on to the appropriate person.
I can't find any reference in Lewis Lloyd's book, WHEREVER FREIGHTS MAY OFFER. The Maritime Community of ABERMAW/BARMOUTH,  1565 to 1920., to Henry or his ship.

Hi
You say that 1851 Census gives his DOB as c. 1805 - Parish Register, death in Dec. 1866, aged 65 - so DOB 1801.
