Hi Lorna, There are several listings for different Penrhyn's. I think you are looking for Penhryn Quarries as he was a slate worker. Lord Penrhyn owned the quarry and had an estate with many servants. Marriages, births and deaths would have been registered in Bangor, CAE. Per Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isle: Penrhyn, Merioneth, 3 1/2 miles east of Portmadoc. Penrhyn Slate Quarries, CAE, in south vicinity of Bethesda, CAE; the quarries are very extensive, giving employment ot several thousand hands, and the slate is conveyed to Port Penrhyn at Bangor.
