IRISH but on forms etc. l have to put British as l'm from the north. Anne

I think of myself as British. I'm half Welsh and half English. I'm Welsh as far as rugger goes, though. Gwynne

I was born in England but lived in Scotland nearly all my life, hubby is a Scot and my sons, my Mother and numerous rellys go back to this village longer than most locals....so I feel mixed....mainly Scottish with an English heritage too and an English accent. But Scotland is home.

So I'm Greek? Even though I can't speak/read/write it! lol

ENGLISH !! Born in Liverpool, family goes back to 16th Century in Lancashire. Did 15 years in the BRITISH army then 10 years in the Civil Service. Possessions include full-size Union Jack and framed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. First car - a Morris 10 1936 model.

I am definately English Pippa. You ask why? Because we go back on the written records as far as they go in Dorset and I firmly believe that my ancestors are buried in the tumuli on the hills near my home.We challenged Time Team and Know Your Ancestors to do a DNA match ,but so far they have not.Although they were very interested.The Ramblin'One

ENGLISH!!

As the army used to do it ' Brit/Eng. Happy days

Born in England to English mother and Welsh father. More drawn to my Welsh side though.

I'm English. I was born in England, all my father's ancestry is English back to the 1100s, although my Grandma's name is supposed to be of Viking origin. My mother's father was born in Wales of English parents, and her mother was born in Glasgow of an English mother and Scottish father. Whichever way you look at it, English ancestry is most prominent, so I regard myself as English. CB >|<

english right back on both sides to 1500's annie

English, as have been my ancestors since the 1600's.

Heinz 57 I suppose. I was born in England but I am a 5th Generation Irish Immigrant and also a 5th Generation French immigrant. Not sure what that makes me. Dianne xx

Welsh - was born and bread in walse and will only ever be Welsh , not British, Not European, Not English!! Just Welsh. And that is despite my matermal grandmother being English with an Irish Father and English Mother (and English back too 1400), Paternal grandparents had 1 English parent each that were English as the day is long... Also have a tiny bit of French and Belgum blood fro 1300's (I didn't work that one out! It's documented on a very old family tree in a book somewhere that a cousin found)

Im English but a few generations back I have Irish on both sides of my Mums family so seeing its St Patricks day today begorrah lol! Dxx

Quite definitely Scottish. This is despite being born in London and living there till I was 4. Parents moved to Scotland at that point. My father's family is entirely Scottish. My mother's family is entirely English. I am Scottish because it's how I feel about myself. 'Just because a cat has her kittens in the oven does not make them cookies!' William

ENGLISH defo. Even though I am not a Londoner, my g gran was and as was her family, and I consider myself to be a London boy as well. I have some French Huguenot ancestry. I also have Suffolk, Yorkshire, Sussex, Essex and Oxon ancestors, and possibly Scottish. If I have Scottish then I probably will find some Irish immigrant blood in me as a lot if Irish went to Scotland. Ben
