Hi there Glyn,
Thank you very much for that information about the cemetery 'Bethel' at Golan, greatly appreciated.  Thank you for the directions as well, once I know for sure that my mother is buried there I will pass on the directions to my daughter Danielle so that she can visit.  I have sent a PM to EmyrBorth asking for assistance.
Thank you very much for checking the MI's for a record of my mother's gravestone at Moel y Gest, Capel y Garth, St John, Capel Salem and St Mair Tremadog.  Greatly appreciated.
Pardon my ignorance but was does MI's stand for, I can make a number of guesses and I might get one of them correct, could you please enlighten me.  Thank you.
Regards
Bruce

Hi Bruce
Apologies for using the abbreviation MI which is short for "Memorial Inscription" and refers to the Gwynedd Family History Society publications of gravestone inscriptions that Kay99 mentioned. Unfortunately GFHS they have not produced one for Bethel Cemetery. The only other cemetery I can think of, which I haven't got is Pentrefelin, but I am guessing Emyr will have this. However, if there is no gravestone it will not appear in any of these publications.
The monumental masons in Porthmadog may be worth contacting to see if they have a record. I believe they are now called Madog Memorials, Madoc Street West, Porthmadog, LL49 9DU. Tel no. 01766 515206.

Hi there Glyn,
Thank you for your prompt reply and for the information about the abbreviation MI, no need for apologies. 
Who controls the Bethel Cemetery?  Does it belong to the Council, or the public, or the Church or a Chapel?  Whoever controls the cemetery would they have records of who is buried at the Bethel Cemetery.
Thank you very much for the information and contact details of the monumental masons in Porthmadog, greatly appreciated.
Regards
Bruce

Hi Bruce
You could try the Gwynedd County Council. Website https://www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/en/Residents/Births-marriages-deaths/Deaths-cemeteries-crematorium/Crematorium-and-cemeteries.aspx

The only problem I can see is Bethel is not listed on the page but hopefully they can point you to the right authority. I know Dolbenmaen Community Council is responsible for the upkeep of the graveyard.

Hi there Glyn,
Once again thank you, hopefully that information will be fruitful and either confirm or remove the Brthel Cemetery from the list, I shall get my daughter whilst she is living and working in London to do some chasing up.
Thank you.
Regards
Bruce

Hi Bruce
Just to emphasis that your daughter should state that it is Bethel Cemetery, GOLAN she is after since there is another graveyard Capel Bethel (Chapel) Graveyard near Penrhos to the west of Pwllheli.
This link has a map. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1815902

All the best
