I'd agree with Mabel. In my experience looking for Welsh names starting with an "I" you also need to consider a "J" as this is how Iorwerth has probably been incorrectly transcribed in 1911 census. Also common for such things as IOAN to be transcribed as JOAN.

Probably not - one story is from Barmouth and the other from Machynlleth, nowhere near the Rhondda Fach.
