Looks an interesting find,particularly as I think Mary,William and Evan may be in the workhouse in 1881 at RG11/5549/54/1.

Regards
Roger

Hi
Second wife of Robert (snr) and 4 children from the 2nd marriage were admitted to the workhouse in 1878. One died in the workhouse from scarlet fever.

I then obtained the marriage certificate for Robert's marriage to his 3rd wife, Mary Jones. They married at Festiniog Registery Office on 8th October 1900, so only 4 month's after Catherine's death. Mary Jones is recorded as a spinster, her father was Edward Jones, deceased, who was a Police Constable. I know from the 1901 census that she was born in Anglesey, so I will try and track her family back through the 1891, 1881 and 1871 census records.

I may have found some information for Mary Jones and her family in Anglesey BMD records.

Mary dau. of Edward Jones & Elizabeth Prichard b. 21 Mar 1867, Llanfair PG
Hannah dau. of Edward Jones & Elizabeth Prichard b. 5 Jul 1865, Llanfair PG

Edward Jones, f, b, labourer of Holyhead, son of Thomas Jones, labourer married Elizabeth Prichard, f, s, of Rhos, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, dau. of Evan Prichard, shoemaker.

Edward Jones, age 32, Cefn Hir, Llanfihangel Ysgeifiog, police officer died 19 Jan 1868. Informant Susan Prichard.
Anglesey - Thomas:
Bodedern, Heneglwys, Llanfair-yn-Neubwll.
Anglesey - Jones:
Llanfaethlu, Llanfair-yn-Neubwll, Rhoscolyn.
Anglesey - Parry:Llanfair-yn-Neubwll.
Anglesey - Lewis:Llanbadrig.
Anglesey - Willins & Tyran/Tyrer

Caernarvonshire - Evans and Lewis:Llanberis.

Denbighshire - Jenkins:Llandynan, Llantysilio, Cerrigydrudion.
Denbighshire - Jones:Rhos, Ruabon.
Denbighshire - Jones:Henllan

Flintshire - Mathews:Northop

1881 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2WS-XMY5

That looks promising as both the boys are the right age and their pob is correct as per 1871c
you would need to check further on
1881c shows  mother Mary Evans as unmar born Penmorfa age 42
and on the
1871c shows Mar(r)y Evans as M born Clynog age 39

Need to find the 1881c for Robert & Mar(r)y's son Robert Evans born Beddgelert, Caernarvonshire c1863 as per 1871 census

ADDED - possible entry for
Robert Evans age 17 born Beddgelert c1864 occ Lab. Ag.
nephew of Ellen M DAVIES age 70  Beddgelert Lodging House Keeper
1881c https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2WS-XYT9

Here's widowed Ellen DAVIES age 60  Beddgelert Lodging House Keeper on 1871c with niece
Jane Evans age 12 Beddgelert
1871c https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V51Z-KSC

Ladyhawk, thank you so much for this. Yes this Catherine Anwyl is my great grandmother. Her father Evan Anwyl married a Jane Wynne Richards at St Peter's, Llanbedr.

I had not seen these probate records, they are very useful. I had not found the marriage of her sister Margaret, so I will order that certificate as well. Thank you very much.

That 1871 census is correct as well. I will input all of this new information on to my family tree on Family Tree Maker and try and join all the pieces up.

I really appreciate you taking the time to look for this information.

Best wishes

I'm not sure about this 1861c entry for Jane EVANS from 1871 census above
she has the right pob and age

Jane Evans age 2 Beddgelert, she has a brother Samuel Evans age 4 born Beddgelert
1861c https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M72S-BCV

looked at the original and on the page before are their parents and 2 more siblings

Robert Evans age 32 Carnarvon Carnarvon, Anne 31,
Griffith 9, Richard 7
All others born Carnarvon Beddgelert, their father Robert’s occupation is a horse keeper

Thank you Dragon T, that is very useful information. Prichard is a surname that pops up elsewhere in my tree as well.
