Is that Romani or Romany?   Anyway that all adds up to:-
5/8 English (what ever that is)
1/4 Irish
1/8 Romani/Romany

Further back I also have County Derry Irish on my mother's line, County Down Irish, Renfrewshire and Ross and Cromarty Scots on Dad's side.   Dad's line got around a bit. ;D

If just you take it back to grandparents then I'm 100% Welsh - bacl to great grandparents then 7/8 Welsh and 1/8 English (Lancashire). Even back to GG Grandparents its only 14/16 Welsh and 2/16 English so I'm probably as Welsh as most people can get these days.

As far as I've traced my mother's family - the 1700s - no one was born outside of Wales - so she's a real taff :-)

Some French, some Irish, a lot of London and Essex.  I am convinced there is a connection with the north, hopefully with Yorkshire, my favourite county, but haven't found it yet.  I have a few names in my tree that tend to originate there - Redfearn, Lister and Maltby for example.

... a lot less sure than I was before I started family history research.  :D

turns out that my Irish grandfather was born in Lancashire and I can't yet work out where Irish grandmothers family was from.  The name apparently is more likely to be Manx than Irish!

Mom born in Dublin and Dad in the Black Country but with two Irish grandparents so used to think 1/4 English 3/4 Irish but maybe not.
