I love the recurrence of some of these threads!
I don't know much about the Welsh language, but must tell those interested that it is said my husband's ancestors would have spelled 'Woosley' differently if they had known
that the English 'Woolsey's were already here and would later accuse them of misspelling!
Actually, in parts of the US till today, Woosley sounds like
'Oosley', and I have been told that old records in Virginia
and possibly North Carolina actually spell the name 'Ousley'
or maybe 'Oeusley'.
Not much like grW, but still--
