Another translation of names please ?

[polidor]

On line 3 is that really Emys or should it be EmRys ?

On line 6 is the name meant to be Anwen?
because I have her in my tree as Morwenna!!!   

[Tati]

Hi Poli 

Birth Anwen Helena Davies
Sep 1909 Corwen 11b 332

It looks like Emys on the image but looking at BMD I think it should be Emrys

 

[Hazel17]

I think the name is Emyr, which is a Welsh Christian name.

[polidor]

My thanks to you both for your help.

Sticking my neck out as one ignorant of Welsh language, but is it possible Morwenna is an affectionate version of Anwen?

[polidor]

We'll only know, Redroger, if some more Welsh speakers pop in.

My only claim to the Welsh language is approx 3 or 4  [at a stretch] words 

[pinot]

I'd go with Anwen and Emyr - the 'r' is a little odd but matches the 'r' in Gratton on the same page. I don't think Morwenna can = Anwen.
            Blwyddyn Newydd Dda (Bonne Annee). There you are, Poli, either you've doubled your Welsh vocabulary or you've swooned from boredom.

We'll only know, Redroger, if some more Welsh speakers pop in.

I'm about 25-30% Welsh speaking 

The North Wales BMD has an Emyr Lloyd Davies, Corwen, 1903
