did the brits mix together with the irish?

Answer 1

Yes, Brits mixed with Irish often. Not all Irish were Catholic and those who were Protestant were every bit as Irish as their papal neighbors. The loyalist Irish often married into English families, and vice versa.

Answer 2

What context is your question asked in?

There was a vast protestant gentry in Ireland, and the protestant population of Ulster is largely composed of settlers from Scotland imported to work. These are the presbyterian 'Scots Irish', or 'Ulster Scots'.

There has been vast Irish immigration into Britain since the Industrial Revolution, particularly into London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Glasgow and other big cities. Kilburn and Camden Town are the areas of London most traditionally associated with Irish immigrants. Thus 'mixing' was forced upon those migrating for work and the existing working class populations.

The most concise though contentious answer to your question might be that 'Brits' and 'Irish' of the same social class have always mixed well together, but that the majority of Upper Class English people saw the Irish as peasants, and the Irish the English Upper Class as mean and heartless landlords and owners of the means of production.

Answer 3

Yes! My pure English Harland line ended up in Ulster Plantation, intermarrying with the "local Quakers" went to Kennett Square, PA, in 1687. Some cousins stayed in Belfast and ended up building the Titanic. In American, my "Anglo-Irish" Harlans intermarried with many lines, one possibly being the Royal Stuarts of Scotland; The last European line was an Irish Toland line that took part in Robert Emmet's' 1803 Rebellion against the English Crown and lived to tell about it. I have other Irish lines also. So as a catch all group, I say that I am of heavily British descent--meaning all 4 nations.

Answer 4

The people from England didn't like the Irish. The main reason the Irish were persecuted is because they were Catholic and the English were Protestant. The Scottish and Irish did mix though that's what Scotch or Scotts Irish is....
Hope that helps.

Answer 6

Yes, Scotch Irish people are descendants of Scottish people who moved into Ireland in the 1600s-1700s, also known as the Ulsters Scots. Many American presidents were of Scotch-Irish descent.

Answer 7

No and many still argue over whether the Scots and Irish mixed in Northern Ireland because they hate each other almost as much as the English and Irish do.
