English or Irish...??

[ummmm]

My son just asked me what I was......

So...My Mother was born in England to Irish parents. My Grandad Donegal and my Nan Belfast...

My Dad....Tipperary born and bred...

My sister was born 7 months after Mum and Dads wedding...lol...in England.

They went back....and I was born in Ireland....

My son thinks because I have a English accent......I'm English....

So....a mongrel then.

I guess you could show him your passport! I'm a hybrid too, born in England to a Welsh father and a mother born in England to two Irish parents - and compounded by being married to a Scotsman (twice).

[ummmm]

Lol...yeah.

Mixed marriage as well....Mum a Prod and Dad a Catholic

[ummmm]

Boxy....I have a English passport.

[boxtops]

wow, bet that caused waves ummmm, I have experience of that in the wider family. Much friction at the time but some 20 years ago now.

[pericat]

Could you have an irish one too ?

[paddywak]

I'm like you ummmm, mum born in South Shields dad in Wigan, grandparents from Dublin, Cobh, Cork and Belfast. My two sisters and myself were born in Nottinghamshire and I'm English and proud of it.

I am from Irish stock - my Nan was a Maquire.

[pericat]

Maguire from where Den?

[DEN53]

Most of my family come from East London - not sure where my Nan was born - am in the process of doing a family tree.

English passport Ummmm? I didn't know there was such a thing.

[jackthehat]

A ggg-grandfather was born in Armagh in about 1819. His descendents after that were born in England..........as was everyone else in my family tree.

So, I think, on balance, I'm English. :o)

[ummmm]

Peri...if I want, Yes. It's just easier to get a 'British' (lol panic) passport....

[Panic Button]

You have a British passport, Ummmm, so you are British of Irish descent.

You're not English though.
