Are there researchers over there that would look up family records? If so,
what kind of cost would be involved?

Angharad,
I checked Coflein for the Royal Commission's notes regarding Yr Hen
Gapel in Llanuwchllyn. The first chapel was built in 1746 and rebuilt
in 1810 and 1871. Interesting to note that Michael D. Jones, the
promoter of Welsh settlement in Patagonia, is buried there.
As to the chapel records listed on the web, I can only confirm what
you probably already know:
- Births and baptisms 1831-37 at the National Archives at Kew -
copies at the London Family History Society (with proviso that the
Society's record online also refers to B/B records for the period
1815-1837)
- Arysgrifiau Cerrig-coffa Capel Rhos y Fedwen (Memorial stones at
Rhyd y Fedwen) , an 11-page booklet written by Beryhl Hughes Jones.
You might also check with Gwynedd Archives in Dolgellau under the
file Church and Chapel records (Z/DP/2 and Z/DP/2/5 in particular).
There may also be information in a book by R.T.Jenkins titled "Hanes
Cynylleidfa Hen Gapel Llanuwchllhyn (History of the Congregation of
Hen Gapel, Llanuwchllyn) published in 1937 (
http://wbo.llgc.org.uk/en/
s-EVAN-THO-1714.html). And the possibility that members of family may
have been buried in adjoining parishes.
