Just found this in the IGI, member submissions. They've changed the layout again and I missed it.

Robert /Williams/
birth:  23 October 1796
Fy Nhadog Uchaf Dolwyddelan Caernarfonshire N Wales
death:
     
Parents:
(I think the submitter stuck a blank extra generation in here)     

Parents:   
    Griffith (Beddgelert) /Williams/
    birth:     21 April 1758
    death:     18 February 1829
    Margaret /Roberts/
    birth:     12 December 1769
    death:     29 July 1858

Interesting because I remember Auntie Catherine talking about Beddgelert. And not just because of the tragic dog story.

If they lived at Fynhadog Uchaf near Roman Bridge it would fit, as several other family members lived around there. Including Auntie Catherine. Also, it would seem many people from the area worked the Llechwedd slate quarry at Blaenau Ffestiniog, about 2 miles away. And I have a group photo of miners taken at Llechwedd.
