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.
