Hi,
Welcome to the list. I think this is your William's family, it is the only
suitable one I can find. "Doll" is the name of the dwelling. MER is
Merioneth. Machynlleth and Dolgelly are not too far from each other on the
west coast of Wales.
Parish of Machynlleth 1851

ROBERTS Margaret d u 3 MGY Machynlleth Doll /f67/p17
ROBERTS William s u 10m MGY Machynlleth Doll /f67/p18
This looks like Ellis on the 1881 Census with a second wife.

This may be your William as it is the only one I can find on the 1881 Census
that fits. His birth place is given as Dolgelly rather than Machynlleth but
that is the same as his father.
