Will’s paternal grandmother is named Joyce M. Norton.
Will’s maternal grandfather was Jack Barrah, a well-known game warden in Kenya (the son of Enoch Jack Barrah and Mary Elizabeth Hindle). Jack was born in Nairobi, Kenya. Enoch was born in Numurkah, Victoria, Australia, the son of Frederick William Barrah, whose parents were from Pembrokeshire, Wales, and of Sarah Anne Mottashaw.
Will’s maternal grandmother was named Patricia Ewing “Pat” Patterson.
A 2007 article seemed to state that Will’s mother is Jewish. However, this was an error.

At no point did I want to pester any of you. Excuse me
You aren’t pestering anyone. some people on this website are envious of your informative comments. A lot of us however are fascinated to know what you think :-)
Give it a rest. The comment wasn’t even meant for this page.
You’re right sorry
she looks ashkenazi jew
You’ve made this comment on more than a half-dozen other pages, and comments like it on half-a-dozen more. Stop spamming this website with this crap.
Yeah!!!
If someone wants to share their opinion of Will Poulter and their surprise of his ethnic origins that seems relevant to the purpose of this website. Vitordesouza is not spamming
Will Poulter should be tagged as likely Irish. Will’s 4th great-grandmother Sarah Moran (1796-1831), was born in Scotland but has a surname very distinctly related to Ireland. As someone who is half Irish I know the surnames of the British Isles and “Moran” is very Irish and usually comes from counties such as Mayo, Ireland. I couldn’t find any ancestors past Sarah Moran, sadly.
“she looks ashkenazi jew” is not even ” to share their opinion of Will Poulter and their surprise of his ethnic origins” because he’s not even talking about him.
And, yes, even if it were, leaving that exact same comment on a dozen pages is the literal definition of spamming.
Looks like an afro albino
He’s going to play the evil clown in the remake of “It.”
Looks like the guy who’d typically bully you in school.
