Just for the record and for anyone else interested in this, my email to the National
Library of Wales was promptly and helpfully answered. They determined that a) there was no
newspaper with obituaries covering Dolgellau and/or Mallwyd at the time my ancestor, David
ROBERTS, died in Boston, Mass. (28 November 1863), and they also found no obituary in the
religious journals they checked:
_*Y Goleuad*_ - Methodists newspaper, *first issues 1869*
_*Y Drysorfa*_ - Methodists journal, unable to locate an obituary listed in the later part
of 1863 or the early part of 1864*.
_*Y Traethodydd*_ - Methodists journal, *no obituaries listed
*
I'm very grateful for all of this help.
