Member Since: October 2006 Posts: 85 Send Message	Hello, I'm trying to find the birth of Iswlyn Young - I'm not entirely sure when it should have been, but his father was Edward D. Young, born 1898. On the 1901 Census Edward lived at Pentwyn Farm, Llandebie. Parents William & Charlotte Young. Family have told me that Edward had a son called Iswlyn (not sure of correct spelling!) so I have just trawled through the birth register from 1918-1935 to no avail! I have no idea who his mother was. I was hoping that the name was quite unusual and that the mother's maiden name would enable me to find the marriage! But I can't find an Iswlyn Young on any name search or anything. Does anyone know if this is a common Welsh name, is it spelt differently? Many thanks
