To ask if you have 4 British Grandparents?

[ThornInMySide84]

In conversation with friends last night about the perks of still having an EU passport I discovered I was the only one with all 4 Grandparents being British.

DH also has 1 non British Grandparent and now when I really think about it so do a lot of my other friends. I would say the majority have an Irish Grandparent but also Spanish, Indian, Chinese, Polish, Maltese and Italian amongst my close friends.

I recall reading somewhere that 25% of British people could get an Irish passport so I guess I’m now wondering if having all 4 British Grandparents are not being entitled to any other nationality is actually quite uncommon?

No: 2 Indian, 1 British of Portuguese parents, 1 British of Czech/French/Romanian parents.

1 Jamaican, 3 British

4 British GP - 1 half irish, 2 Scottish and 1 English (I can trace his family back quite far back all from the same area on Dorset / Wiltshire farmer workers)

I have an 1 Irish Great Grandparents & 1 NI Great Grandparents.

I don't, two born outside the UK, one probably never had a British passport.

Four British, though the female line on each side is Irish. Too many generations settled in England to get me the Irish passport.

Both my maternal grandparents were Irish. My other side lived in America but I believe they originated from Ireland Scotland, Germany and France!

That makes me so angry to hear that it. Racism, antisemitism and rudeness are all appalling and I would hopefully, perhaps naively, say not British. I hope you're ok x

I have 4 Northern grandparents

All British back for forever, apart from rumours of one french man in the 1600s.

I could say that all four were British. However, one of my grandfathers only became a naturalised British citizen in his late twenties and a few years after that, he emigrated (for the third time) and went on to gain his third or fourth citizenship.

Yes all my grandparents were/are British. Two English and two Welsh.

Well I moved here aged 19 to do a masters so no, none of my grandparents are/were British.
DH (British) doesn't know his father but his grandparents on his mother's side were British, though with Irish ancestry. My MIL may apparently be eligible for an Irish passport.
