Welsh First Names

[chrisvic]

Was there a  first name in Wales in the 1800's that was either Salo or Salor?  We have two Samuel's listed in my Welsh Great-great-great Grandparents family.  The oldest one is then listed in the 1880 US Census as having his own family and his name is Salor and his wife and children are all the correct names for him to be my Great-great Grandfather.  We can't figure out if they named two sons (who both lived to adulthood) Samuel or if one was named Salor or Salo (or possibly a nickname for Soloman??)  Can any one help with this?  Thanks!

Hello chrisvic I do not know many Welsh first names so can not say for certain if there is or was the names Salo or Salor . Are you sure that these are the letters ,sometimes it is difficult to read old writing. There is a name IOLO could you be reading SALO wrong and the letter S is an I and the last letter is not a letter just how they ended the letter O. Again there is the possible names TALO or TAL or TELOR but not positive about last name for certain.
