same as I've got now, as we haven't moved far, although there's a bit of London accent crept in here due to the amount of migrants to the area |

Well, well. There's nice it is of you to ask. I got my name, see, because of Mum's family in Glamorgan. or I could be talking with straw in the corner of my mouth, while I dig me tatties in Sussex. Gwyn |

Daniel 'main residences' sounds a bit grand. My lot all lived in labourer's cottages! But I could speak with a Norfolk accent (paternal grandfather, who used to say 'Blust, that's a rum 'un!' - translated as 'how very odd') Or a Norf Lundun one, or a Glozzer (Gloucestershire) accent, or I could speak like my maternal grandmother who said 'that's a bit orrrfff' when she was disapproving of someone's behaviour. nell |

Depends how far I go back. On Dad's paternal side Scottish (1700s) and Canadian (1800s), on his maternal side Worcestershire (1600s) and (Welsh 1890s) and Canadian (1900s). On Mum's paternal side probably Irish (but I haven't proved it yet) but certainly Hampshire/Wiltshire (1700s) then Surrey (mid 1800s) and on her maternal side almost certainly Irish, (although again I haven't quite got there) but definitely West London (early 1800s).
