Most definitely English !!! Every single name in my tree, on both parents sides. I was very surprised !! 2 had Welsh names, but I only found them born in England so I still can't claim any proper Welsh in me!!! :0) Joan |

Born in England, brought up in Australia from the age of 3. I guess I'm Australian but my parents are English and going back many generations we are English. I visited England for the first time in 2000 and I strongly felt my English roots especially in Leeds where I was born. Susan |

i am english, my husbnd so we are told is born in london of an irish mother (dont know if north or south) and a greek cypriot father. My children were born i scotland, but call themselves british. most of my ancestor names are scottish or irish, although I have only just metaphorically speaking stepped a toe into the borders. Have lived in scotland for over 21 years. maybe i am just confused |

I am English and so are all my direct ancestors as far back as I can tell. Not only English, but definitely south of the Wash too - counties of Cornwall, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Norfolk. Husband is a bit more exotic - half Welsh and an eighth Jewish, the rest being London. nell |

I've got English/ Scottish/ Irish & French but think of myself as English or British - don't really mind which though it's quite nice to think I might be descended from the Ancient Britons somewhere:) |

English through and through I think altho I still have some ancestors on dad's side to follow up and don't know far back on mum's side yet, altho I suspect they were all Norfolk Dumplings. |
