I found these sites. Don't know if they are of any use.

Perhaps if you contacted the "Friends of St Julitta's"?

and according to Genuki, Capel Curig is in the parish of Llandegai (didn't know that):

Dear Mr Lloyd,
                      My 3x great grandfather John Roberts was buried there in 1839 also his son John Roberts was buried there in 1898 his wife Emma in 1865 , plus other family members , they were on a farm called  Gors Ceffylau , the ruins are still there , there are also baptism there for the family including my grandmother  Emma Roberts D O B 1877 , her father was also a John Roberts born on Gors Ceffylau  DO B 1850 , i have failed to find his death or buriel place as it was said to have taken place in South Africa around 1882, if you ever see a mention of it the Church records i would be pleased to know , maybe the family recorded it in the parish records, seeing  as they used the church .

I have visited the church it is lovely place , and not far from Gors Ceffylau


 Regards Mrs Griff l

Dear  Mr Lloyd

Dear Mrs Griff 1,
Thanks for the info, I know of Gors Ceffylau, and have a photograph etc. a lovely site but life must have been so hard for these people in the 19 century. Your reply raises so many questions about the Roberts family I guess most of them unanswerable.
How did they get there in the first place and where did they move on to? You mention South Africa for John Roberts any other records of other family members?  Have any pictures/photos of these people survived? They were obviously farmers but did any of them work in the Quarries; Rhos Quarry started up 1850ish & Foel about 1835, both very convenient for where they lived. We are putting together an exhibition in the church in the summer on these two quarries. I am also very interested in any examples of emigration ( John Roberts),
Best wishes Harvey Lloyd
