    I would have personally mistaken them for either English or Dutch except a few (Barras, Jones, Powell,Shipperley, Ingle)

    No, it's a human feature.
    Compared with other human relatives such as Neanderthals, modern Homo sapiens have particularly prominent chins.

    Well nearly half of the surnames are English and not typically Welsh (plus 1 German, 1 Irish, and 1 Slavic).

    Well a Welsh Government survey a few years ago found that only around 35% of people in Wales have indigenous Welsh surnames.

    It's a progressive degenerate Caucasoid feature. And Western Europeans are more progressive than Northeastern Europeans.

    Coon also considered a protruding chin to be characteristic of Norwegians, and he said that a long chin was characteristics of both Norwegians and of Nordids in general (https://www.theapricity.com/snpa/chapter-IX4.htm):

    The cheeks are in most cases thin, and the lower jaw long and deep, curving in front to a well-developed chin, with the gonial angles compressed and usually not visible. One of the outstanding features of this type, and of the Nordic race as a whole, is the great distance between the borders of the lower teeth and the point of the chin. The total impression of the face is that of a long, narrowish oval, often slightly rhomboid, with prominent bony portions when seen in profile. The lips are usually thin, the mouth rather small, and the nasal sills well developed.

    I think that the combination described by Coon of a narrow mouth, thin lips, and long protruding chin looks very freakish, like in the case of the last chick from the OP's post (and in her case like in many other cases, a protruding chin is associated with a high nasal bridge):



    Coon also wrote that a prominent chin was characteristic of Irish people (https://www.theapricity.com/snpa/chapter-X2.htm):

    One feature for which the Irish face is famous in caricature, along with the freckles, the great malar breadth, the upturned nose, and the long, convex upper lip, is the great prominence of the chin. Sub-medium chin development, characteristic of many European racial groups, is found in but 10 per cent of the whole in Ireland, but rises to 15 per cent and 17 per cent in the counties of Ulster, where it is commonest; the extremely projecting, square chin, often cleft, also attains nearly 10 per cent of the whole, and is councentrated in the southwestern counties of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Kilkenny, and Tipperary, reaching a maximum of 15 per cent in Cork.

    Coon wrote that a Somali looked less negroid than his fellow negros because of his prominent chin (https://www.theapricity.com/snpa/troeplate20.htm):

    The extreme narrowness of his head and face, the straight nasal profile, and the prominence of his chin, mark him as less negroid than many of his fellows.

    On the other hand, Coon wrote that a wide blunt chin was characteristic of Lithuanians (https://www.theapricity.com/snpa/chapter-IX12.htm):

    The chin form is usually rather wide and rounded.

    And he wrote that a non-protruding chin was characteristic of Saami (https://www.theapricity.com/snpa/troeplate01.htm):

    FIG. 5. (1 view, photo Martin Luther). This 18 year old Norwegian Lapp boy possesses all of the most characteristically Lappish features of the face: a shallow mandible; a pointed, retreating chin; a lateral malar prominence; facial prognathism; a pointed and elevated nasal tip; and a low nasal bridge.

    Quite a few have Anglo rather than Welsh surnames, maybe posh sports like rowing are more representative of the elites there, but a few that still look uniquely Welsh like Geraint Thomas, who couldn't be anything else
