Interesting bunch!
Delysia is a strange one. According to the records it seems to have appeared out of nowhere in 1916, and there's a steady trickle of them after that. I wonder where it came from?
Gwendyth looks like a transcription of Gwendydd - Merlin's twin sister in some stories, it's not been used much in Wales.
Gwithian is a place in Cornwall - makes an interesting name.
Awwwwww 94-yr-old Bunny! And how awful about 17-yr-old Horatio, very sad for his marvellously named brothers.

Forgot to say that Veryan is a Cornish place-name too. Strange to get two of them in one lot of obits.
