Any 'English' people who the populace believes are English but are actually not?

I don't know. With all the multicultural propaganda and everything else, it is hard to sort reality from fiction. I'd like to believe the English are purely English too.

Well there's a middle ground of recognising that many modern British/English have some foreign ancestry (usually from other British Isles nations), between that and fantastical propaganda like the average Englishman is 36% British.

Thats true but spaniards dont pass the last name of their direct maternal ancestors. The daughters pass on the name of their fathers only.
It should be that the daughter passes the name of her mother and the father the son.
The child will have both surnames of parents but if boy will pass on the fathers. If girl will pass on the mothers ( which is her mothers , and also her mothers mother ect.)

You are right.

Even Joanna Lumley has a Danish great-grandparent.

I think most Brits have something from Europe.

Not sure about most, but a lot do for sure.

Joanna’s maternal grandmother was Thyra Laetitia Alexandra Sommers (the daughter of Charles Christian Sommers and Hannah Arkle). Thyra was born in New Zealand. Charles was Danish, born in Galten, Denmark.
