I don't have personal access to chapel records for Dolgellau. I got the
details about Hen Gapel from the LDS website. The LDS have a number of
chapel records indexed, the easiest way to find what is available for which
areas is to go to:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm
This is an "access" site to the LDS page. The LDS site itself is on
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/default.asp
If you find a possible whilst searching the LDS make a note of the film
number, you can use it to order a microfilm of the original document (which
often contains additional details) through your local LDS research centre in
most parts of the world.
All the best
Alwyn

Hi Alwyn,
Thank you very much indeed for this information, it is most helpful.
Thank you especially for going to so much trouble to search for all the
alternative possibilities involving such popular names!
The most likely Margaret Jones, christened at Hen Gapel Congregational,
Dolgellau confirms that it was a marriage between two strongly
non-conformist families, John Ashton reportedly being chapel organist of
Maengwyn St, Machynlleth and his father Daniel Ashton marrying in Pennant
Congregational Chapel, Llanbrynmair. I have previously wondered about the
religious aspect of this family because John & Margaret Ashton's older
children all seem to have taken off for London and somewhat distanced
themselves from the family.
It's very interesting that you have access to chapel records in Dolgellau
and it makes me wonder if there are chapel records available for other
places like Machynlleth, Llanbrynmair and Llanrwst?
Again, thank you very much for your kindness.
Cheers, Tony
