I am going through old newspapers on the BNA, doing searches on my family
names.
Y Genedl Cymreig - Wednesday 28 December 1892 has something about Dinorwic
Quarry that has a list of names with ages in 1886 and number of years
working at Dinorwic - I am having to translate word by word using an online
translator!
Could be of use to anyone with family working there around then. I am
fairly sure I have identified my Taid's father and know he had worked there
for 13 years in 1886.

My great grandfather, John Williams, was the Calvinist Methodist Minister at
Dinorwig 1894-1895. They lived in the house Bron Myfyr which is next to the
Chapel and is where my grandmother was born. Strange to think that some of
the folk on your list may have attended that Chapel when John Williams was
the Minister, possibly even your Taid's father!
