DEULWYN

[king william]

My ancestors were the Deulwyn aka Daylwyn family of Carmarthen and Kidwelly who went to England in the 1400's. The name then became Busshe, then Bushe, and eventually Bush. The name of Duyland Bush/e is definitely mine. He married Cecily Ryd/Rede.
There is still a lot to discover about this family and I am also very interested in Ieuan Deulwyn who was a Bard of Glamorgan and died about 1480 - he is one of ours but we are not totally certain where he fits in, he could have been the father of our William Busshe or he may have been an uncle.
My question is - I would have thought that anyone with the name of Deulwyn would have been on my family line and when I googled the name I found lots.
Is this a name that has become a common christian name or are the holders of this name very likely to also be from my Deulwyn line, in which case anyone with that name could hold information I would give my eye teeth for.

Hello Robin 

Haven't met anyone called Deulwyn so it's not a common name, although I have met a few Delwyns. Not sure whether men with this name would be linked to the Deulwyn tree    I can see the logic for Deulwyn changing to Bush(e) in England because Llwyn is a Welsh word for bush (presumably Deulwyn meant 2 bushes)

Morganllan,
Many thanks for your reply - I believe the name could also hav e been Dilwyn, an dit sounds as it anyone of that name today IS from my line and carries it as an ancestral name. I was aware, many thanks of the reason for the name becoming Bush/e
Many thanks
Robin

Dilwyn is a more common name in Wales and I don't think they are all descended from the Deulwyn/Bush line

Morganllan,
Many thanks for your reply - it does seem that anyone with the specific name of Deulwyn could very well be from the same line as I am.
Ieuan Deulwyn, the bard, is quite well recorded on the internet, and it would be nice to find someone also from this line who has some history maybe tucked into a family bible somewhere, or some notes passed down that have not reached the internet and which could add to the sum of our knowledge.
That would be a great find,
Thanks - Robin
