The links you give have no sources, alas.

Ethylfreda would be an odd name for a child of Irish and Norse heritage, since it’s Old English.

The links in the profile you linked to in the Geni tree explain why we have a daughter of Silkbeard’s in the Welsh tree, as Wolcott makes a good argument for her existence.

But Silkbeard would not have had a daughter named Ethylfreda, and she doesn’t show up in the genealogies and histories.

Many thanks for your input. I was thinking much the same. It makes one wonder where this information came from and why no references were provided.
