FYI .. I've come across what looks like 'Lettice' before in Ebenezer cemetery in Llanllyfni and it was actially Letitia. Llandwrog and Llanllyfni are not that far apart.
Amended ; the Letitia buried in Ebenezer was born 1908, I was just pointing out a possibility.

the address in the 1850 burial record is Hole in the Wall St, Caernarfon. There's a couple of very brief death notices for this person, where she is referred to as Mrs Lettice Hughes

this is the only Hughes - Letitia/Lettice marriage in the area inthe right time frame that I've seen

Humphrey Hughes
Lettice Roberts

Marriage    27 Nov 1816, Llanbeblig

I've found 4 non conformist  baptisms in Caernarvon. All note Humphrey is a mariner

William Hughes    Baptism    2 May 1819
Henry Hughes    Baptism    28 Sep 1820        
Cathrine Hughes    Baptism    1 Jul 1822    
Humphrey Hughes    Baptism    27 Apr 1824

The 1841 Lettice has what looks like  Ind ( independent) as her status.
Y indicates Yes , so born in Caernarvonshire.
The fact that the 1850 death is reported in the papers sounds like that this Lettice was worthy of announcing it so possibly the same person.

What do you think?

I wonder what the connection is between Ellin Hughes and Letitia Hughes? possibly sister in-law if this Letitia is married to Humphrey Hughes.
