Maybe the brunette woman in the brown clothes next to the reddish haired woman on the bottom of the second right row, thats my last guess

Could be any. None of them have a look too Insular Celtic to be English, like you often get with Irish and Scots. I'll guess 2nd from left on top, 2nd from right on bottom.

Most can easily pass as Scandinavians but #1 is very likely English

too old, ugly and haggard to look English (Germanic) only attractive people can be that..

I think the woman in pink top row at the end is English. Other than that I couldn't pick anyone out.

Hard to tell but I'd say the first one on the top row and the last one on the top row.

The correct answer is these two:

Dawn Bowden from Bristol

Jane Hutt from London

It says Hutt's grandparents are Welsh, so I guessed the only real Englishwoman, even though she's from Bristol. And she is the most specifically English looking one.

What looks 'distinctly English' about her?

She just looks more like English women I've seen/known, and not Welsh/Insular Celtic ones. In anthro terms I suppose it could be Borreby influence. Her eyes are also not Celtic.

What are Celtic eyes? "When Irish eyes are smiling,...."

One of those things that you know it if you see it, if you're familiar. Cillian Murphy or Saoirse Ronan would be good examples. Eyes are IMO the most distinctive single feature between nations, and yet there isn't really a vocabulary to describe those differences.

That's a new one on me. Where would my brown dog eyes fit in the British Isles, other than in a kennel or a pound?

I've never seen your eyes. From your description, possibly here:

That's good to know. My canine orbs found a doggo homeland.

The peoples of the British Isles are very closely-related. For example, I always assumed that James Haskell looked extremely and uniquely English, yet he recently revealed that his mother is Welsh and he even played for Wales U18's at one point. You can see a photo of him and his family here: https://www.ruck.co.uk/james-haskell-facts-10-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-legend/

We already know that Irish, Welsh, Scottish and English people have almost no genetic differences. And therefore phenotype is unsurprisingly the same.

Welsh and English are very closely related (but still distinguishable), the British Isles overall is also closely related, which everyone knows, but you and others on here tend to overstate that closeness, not sure why.
