My paternal ancestry is centrally English, but over the centuries some lines had reached England from Scotland, Ireland, France and Wales. The south of England, particularly the counties of Surrey and Kent, plays the most prominent role in my paternal heritage.
My paternal great-grandfather's ancestry is the most homogenous, being entirely Kentish in origin (at least since the 16th century) apart from one Huguenot branch who settled in Maidstone in the early 18th century.
