Thinking of a newspaper that might cover the inquest, I would try the
Cambrian News first (run incomplete in Gwynedd Archives but possibly
available in the National Library of Wales - you would need the Merioneth
edition). Maybe it would be worth looking at y Rhedegydd (1943-48 and
1950-51 is in Gwynedd Archives and there is a run at the University in
Bangor - try doing a Google search to see the dates). The latter was the
paper for Blaenau Ffestiniog and I can't remember how much it covered
towards Traws.
I hope this is of some help.

Subject: [MER] THOMAS B OWEN Gamekeeper
> My first time on the list. Ihope I give the right info. Thomas went to
Dolgellau to work as Gamekeeper on the Nanau Estate.approx 1910-1920. His
sister Arminthy and her son, Stanley Owen went with him. When he moved to
work as Game keeper at Bolton Abbey, Yorks,for the Duke of Devonshire, his
sister and her son remained in Dolgellau, Stanley died there in 1984.
Still
working for the Devonshires thomas moved to an estate near
Trawsfynydd and
in the late 1940's drowned in a lae after having a heart attack. Does
anyone
know the name of the estate? Would ther have been an Inquest and
which
paper
might a report have been in? Does anyone remember it happening? Any
info
would be most welcome. Tank you, Ann Owen
