No, it should receive full independence within the EU. And introduce the Euro. And of course only Cornish should be taught in the schools. All the tin mines should be reopened. [/sarcasm]

Williams, which most would believe to be an English name, is Welsh in as well.

Most names with an s on the end of what would otherwise be a first name are Welsh; Thomas, Hughes, Jenkins etc.
Though it's a bit more complicated as such names occur in Englishmen without a Welsh connection - if you're called Thomas and you're an Englishman you`re likely to have Welsh ancestry, but by no means certain.
There`s also sometimes Welsh names made up of P and then a personal name, ie Probert.

Stop trying to complicate things Grin
And to make things even more complicated some Welsh names are of Biblical origin.
And not just Welsh ones. Smiley

Which is basically the same as the names with the 's of the end, but less Anglicised.[/quote]Exactly.

That makes sense from what little I know of Welsh.
