well in that case England will have Alexander graham bell,John clerk Maxwell,Shane Filan, Paul hewson/Bono, Ocar Wilde, Jonathan meyers, Oliver Goldsmith, Ernest shackleton, Mikey Graham,
Ronan Keating,Shane Lynch, Stephen gately, and hundreds of thousands more of Irish Scottish people with English surnames, and were have the 600 thousand English people that live in Ireland already by birth and the 900 thousand English people living in Scotland by Birth, you want to talk about ancestry it already won by England, millions of Irish people moved to England, WITH English ancestry, why do think they don’t do Public ethnicity surveys in Ireland mate because they don’t want to unravel the truth and want to keep claiming everyone else’s notable people, the only people that need to suck it up are you idiots on here trying to look for people that they think have irish ancestry.
Suck it up, first colony of England 800 years of English rule and colonization, 6 most popular Surname Smith=English, Deny and claim all you like, it doesn’t change facts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantations_of_Ireland.
She’s really beautiful.
Why would England have John Clerk Maxwell, Alexander Graham Bell, Mikey Graham? These are all actually Scottish surnames. Although the Graham clan eventually moved south of the border (all 1 mile of it to Kirkandrews on Esk), they were originally a Scottish clan and Maxwell is a very Scottish name.
Looks like Dave here has a massive chip on his shoulder. Like it or lump it.

Suck it up Dave.
Your little friend Owen bowcott, what a lovely English surname he has for an “Irish” reporter, suck it up Marie. NEXT……
Question : Where did he claim or where does it say that he is Irish?
Besides how do you know that her members of family down the line weren’t adopted by Irish or Scottish people, Irish and Scottish people are basically English people genetically anyway, Callaghan is the ENGLISH version of O ceallachain, when Anglo-Normans conquered Ireland they took Irish versions of names and Translated them and took them on as surnames, Many Historians consider Ireland the first colony of England.
Don’t be jealous Dave. :) …There are millions of people in England of Irish and Scottish descent. Face up to it.
