Elyes Gabel is a British actor, musician, and filmmaker. He has starred on the shows Game of Thrones, Casualty, and Scorpion.
Elyes is the son of Irene and Hocine Gabel. He has said that he has French, Algerian, Spanish, Dutch, Anglo-Indian, Irish, and Portuguese ancestry. He has described his Indian ancestry as “distant.” A picture of Elyes with his mother can be seen here.
Elyes’ maternal grandfather’s surname was Gurney.
Elyes’ maternal grandmother was named Noreen. She was born in India, and had English, Indian, and Dutch ancestry. An article about Elyes and Noreen can be seen here.
His ancestry should be fixed for *Algerian (father) and then he rest his mother
We don’t know which ethnicities he assigns to his father and which to his mother.
Margaret E. Hope was the daughter of John Hope and Ada Ellen Myland
How do you know that?

That might or might not be the right woman. The name isn’t distinctive enough.
it’s consistent with the birthplace, St. Albans, Hertfordshire IMO.
It appears Albert S. Gurney was the son of parents born with the same surname
I think Andrew is right because of the reasons he mentioned.
Albert Gurney’s parents doesn’t have to have had the same surname though, it could simply be that Gurney comes from his mother, and that his father had a different surname that the children didn’t adopt.
I think the ethnicity box should get rid of the endless list on unverified things and be changed into:
* English, other (unclear)
Also the pic with his mother is gone, a good one: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bivq2mwB6sd/
Son of Irene A. (Gurney) and Hocine Gabel.
I don’t like when people claim that many origins. Are these documented ?
He looks mostly Arab.
I’ll bet his father is full Arab and that why he looks mostly Arab. Everything else including Indian probably comes from his mother.
Arab is not an ethnicity. His father is Algerian.

It seems so, but Elyes a Catholic school while living in Manchester, UK.

Looks like someone from Kuwait or Bahrain
Literally anyone one who have been to Kuwait would see so many guys that look exactly like him.
