Approximately, how Irish are you?

Going by this chart, I think I’m 1/16th Irish.

100%

Nowt. 1/32 german tho

0%. Is that good or bad?

1/4 (ie I could compete for Ireland I think) – though having a proper Irish surname surely adds a bit to that?

about 1/16, my kids are 50% as mrs TS has big ginga flowing locks so they go to sleep every night to the sounds of river dance and tales of little fellas at the bottom of the garden?

Belfast born and bred!

My dad’s from Northern Ireland, so I guess I’m 50% Scottish/ 50% Irish as far as parents go.

1/16 Irish, 1/16 Swedish, 7/8 English.

50% for me.

100% by parentage but I was born and brought up in England so I am 100% english too.

50% by parentage but 100% cockney by upbringing.

50 % Irish, 50 % Welsh 😯

1/8 Irish, 3/8 Welsh, 1/2 very Northern English.
Typical british bastard. I’d have likes some Scots blood, too

1/8 Scottish, 1/8th Irish, 1/8th Dwarf, 1/16th Welsh, 8/16ths English

I can walk into a bar by myself and still have all the ingredients for a joke.

100% by parentage but I was born and brought up in England so I am 100% english too.

Classic plastic.

100% here too.

My name is Patrick, so at least 30% 🙂

well, my Gran was born in Stirling, and scotland’s basically the same as Ireland.

i reckon i’m probably about 73% irish.

0% by parentage, but went to inner-London catholic schools – so about 50% by upbringing then.

My mothers side of the family came to Staffordshire from Ireland in the mid 19th century to build the railways.

My Wifes from Dublin, so I guess i’m half Irish 🙂

I’m so Irish I’m thinking of moving to Bristol.

3 Irish grandparents, 1 Scottish so 75% Irish. I’ve lived in England 90% of my life, which still leaves me 0% English.

1/4 by genes, 100% english culturally.

50% Irish (dad), 50% Welsh (mam).

But I was brought up in Wales so consider myself 100% Welsh.

I am not sure, nor do care as long as I have no jock blood!

Same as ski boy, Dad was Irish, Mam was welsh. Not sure what that makes me though, as I was born and brought up in Yorkshire. Some sort of cross breed, like a Labradoodle. Mmmm Labradoodle 🙂
(edit) same as Adam as well. We should start some sort of association!

Well put deadlydarcy

pity we can’t say the same about all “ethnics”

50 % Romany Gypsy 50 % gorger – born in England but prefer to be called Romany British.

Well put deadlydarcy

😯

For toys19’s benefit – I was just taking the mick 🙂

only an irishman would call their daughter “Stanley” 😉

I’m betting that great-great-great grand-daddy “Falmouth” got beaten up at school too.

By the rules of the chart, 100%, born and bred in Coleraine.

Parents, dad Yorkshire, mum Derry.

100%, born in Belfast and lived there for 25 years.

But going back to my grandparents, three Irish, one English.

50% northern irish

25% Scottish,
Born in England,
Lived in Wales,
100% British,
100% European.

With a name like Fitzpatrick, very I would have thought. Although there are no Irish that I know of in the family. Apparently my grandad was Irish but he died just after the war and nobody knows bugger all about him.

3rd gen, everybody in Liverpool is of relatively recent Irish ancestry, grandparents in my case. I couldn’t have a more Irish surname.

Dont consider myself remotely ‘English’. Got more in common with people from outer wherever than, say, people from Essex.

Scouse first, then Irish/Scottish/British.

Part man, part machine.

Possibly 50%
My missus is 50% Irish and 50% Yorkshire…..didn’t do my homework there did I 😐

AS you can imagine all the trousers in the oldgit household are in my wifes size.
