I was never any good at percentages or fractions!

Interesting stuff! For the same generation (i.e. my 3 x greats), I'm:

¹/₄ Geordie
³/₁₆ Tyke
³/₁₆ East Midlander (Derbys/Leics)
⁵/₃₂ various undifferentiated counties in the south of England
¹/₈ Mackem
¹/₃₂ Scouse
¹/₁₆ completely unknown!

All brickwall-busting assistance on identifying the remaining ¹/₁₆ will be graciously accepted...

My paternal line is 3 generations in the West Country, so I was not surprised to calculate:

Kent   7/32
Wiltshire  6/32
Somerset 5/32
Devon 3/32
Essex 2/32
Suffolk 2/16
London 1/32

and unknown 6/32

Hi,
I don't normally post on this board, but I couldn't resist the challenge.
1/32 = 3.125%
2/32 = 6.25%
4/32 = 12.5%
17/32 = 53.125%

glad you enjoyed the challenge ;-))

Fantastic: but I don't get the "family history" connection!

Cestrians - From Cheshire.  Don't ask me why it's not Chestrians though.

Me I'm a watered down Yorkshireman!
On my fathers side all yorkshire folk, down to the worker at the abbey at Kirkstall in the days of yore.
On my mother's side all staffordshire folk.
