My father was the winner for under 18s at the 1925 and 1926 National Eisteddfodau and I was brought up with Welsh harp music despite living in Essex. My father was born in Wales of Welsh speaking parents and moved to Essex to teach. My mother was born in Co Wicklow, Ireland of an Irish mother and English? father. My aunt thought he might be Welsh. What nationality can I claim - more Welsh than English by blood and certainly Welsh via the male line. My husband's father was born in Cornwall of a Welsh father and English mother so I am wondering what this makes my three boys who were all born in England. I know that my cousin speaks Welsh and believe there were Welsh speakers on my husband's side. I am now making a concerted attempt to learn Welsh via the OU. Anna Thomas
