Liverpool Family Ties: The Irish Connection 

There is a lot of English blood in Dublin as well, going way back. There must have been lots of toing and froing and intermarriage between Liverpool and Dublin over the centuries.

Greetings from Belfast.

30% Irish, 27% Welsh, 18% Scottish, 17% English, 5% Norway and 3% German😂

@@td370 What’s your point? There are people in Liverpool who look fully black yet have a Liverpool-Irish Grandmother from the north end, are they any less Irish? Exactly. Save the Xenophobia for the pub after the football

@@td370 You're full of assumptions and that's totally okay - to correct you, I'm not from America, was born in Liverpool -Holy Cross/The Four Squares/The bullring to precise darling - if you really know Liverpool and the Irish community, I don't need to expand any further, I was back and forth to Ireland throughout my life. Let's play genetics, a lady gets the boat over from Ireland in the '50s, falls in love with an African sailor, they have a mixed-race child, that child grows up to have a child with a black man, that child (1/4 Irish in theory) is minded by their Irish grandmother, they hear Kevin Barry sang, they go on holidays back home. Are they any less Irish? No! You sound incredibly racist, probably an orange King Billy, a 'West-Brit'. You're dying breed darling x

Im Scouse and I’m one of the few with no Irish. My dads side is welsh and mum’s family was from the Isle of Mann

@@seniorscouse3346 That's interesting, I'm related to Sir Richard Clough, a Welsh merchant that worked for Elizabeth Tudor as an agent. He married to Katherine Tudor, unfortunately he's my great uncle and not my great grandad! Would have been great to have Tudor blood.

I’m from Birkenhead, across the River Mersey, and my DNA is 59%Irish through my paternal line, 29% English through my maternal, 10% Scottish no idea where from and 2% Germanic Europe??

Well said!..Ireland

McCartneys about as Irish as a stick of Blackpool rock. Mick.

John Lennon and George Harrison had Irish lineage too. Ringo, I'm not sure of. Although 'Starkey' sounds Irish.

In Asian families arranged marriages fixed that for a decade or three. In Irish families, Catholicism of the greater majority. English catholics represent a tiny minority of the overall population. Some wealthy Catholics were in a position to create the ‘priest’s hole’, a hidden room in their great houses, often between floors, the lower floor having a false ceiling. Lancashire was the last English county to hold out against the forced imposition of the state religion by Elizabeth 1st, Henry Viii’s fanatical daughter, whether this resulted in a greater number of Catholics in that county, or not, as the intervening centuries rolled by, I know not.

I didn't hear that at all. Who are you referring to in this video?
