The 1851 census entry is probably a misspelling of Robert. Dolgethlley
should be spelt Dolgellau (pronounced Dolgethly).
The census returns almost certainly show the English naming, whereas when
you go to the parish registers, the local patronymic naming convention will
almost certainly apply. Richard and Jane's children would acquire Richards
as their surname under patronymic naming and Jane would probably retain
Lewis as her surname, certainly until the mid 1800's (and I could even be
wrong there).
As to Pandy Bach, there are two, one in Anglesey and the other in Gwynedd
(

be obtained from the Gwynedd record office at Dolgellau
(

contact details).
