Thank you Forfarian.  I have been on SP but can't find birth for Inglis. Found marriages and divorce records but as you said probably still living.  I wonder where the name came from as looking back my tree there does not appear to be any links to Scandinavia or Anglo Saxon princesses.

I speculate that two of these three may have been given a name that their parents came across somewhere rather than being given a name that has come down through the family.

Try searching for *nswyth* instead of for Ianswythe - wildcards are always useful for picking up different spellings.

Try this - a  northern European name! And Language ? 

Danish.

Apologies if you feel that I trod on your toes, heywood. I only wanted to clarify the answer to the question in barryd's post.

Not at all but there are BMD records for that name *nswyth and *nswythe so I was offering it as a legitimate albeit rare name.
