1/8 London (Surrey) by way of Hampshire
1/8 London (Surrey) by way of Northern France
1/8 London (Middlesex) by way of Norfolk
1/8 London (Middlesex) by way of Kent
1/8 London (Surrey) by way of Northamptonshire
1/8 Yorkshire

1/8 London (Middlesex) by way of Cornwall, USA and Co Antrim

This is quite straightforward for me  - not so for my children.  I was born in Cyprus and am married to a Peruvian of Spanish, Portuguese and Scottish origins.

On the basis of my granparents I'm:
3/4 English (2/4 Kent, 1/4 Staffordshire)
1/4 Welsh

Working back to the next generation, though, that equates to:
7/8 English (4/8 Kent, 2/8 Staffordshire, 1/8 London)
1/8 Welsh

And then further back another generation:
13/16 English (8/16 Kent, 4/16 Staffordshire, 1/16 Cambridgeshire)
3/16 Welsh (1/16 Glamorganshire, 2/16 Monmouthshire)

The Monmouthshire falls back to 2/32 in the next generation, and one side were from Dorset originally.  All in all, it means I'm mostly English with about an eighth Welsh.
Currently engaging in a one-name study of the Twyman surname.

Golding, Twyman, Kennard, Wales (Kent).
Berks, Challinor (Staffordshire).
Wakely. (Glam & Monmouth).
