mixture of all three...medium to dark brown hair, very fair skin, and blue eyes.
I have traced my ancestors back to the following families / clans from as far back as 400 A.D. Irish Scottis who emigrated to Scotland (hence the name Scotland), and the Darlings and Turners who were in England prior to the advent of record-keeping in 1066, as well as the clans of Scotland. Some of my family / clan names are:
Darling, White, Turner, Dean, Stone, MacGregor, Davidson, Lamont, MacGregor, MacPherson, Mackintosh, and Chattan.
I would LOVE to find relatives...people who look like me! I saw a picture of a Mackintosh in Scotland, who spelled his name McIntosh, who very strongly resembled my mother, but not me so much.

You'll be related to most of Britain with those names.
And how on earth did you get all the way back then? Record keeping only started in the 1700's (births deaths and marriages that is)
I'm a Scot and we can trace ours back to around 1500. But the fact that you have a clan name doesn't mean anything. Clans were not all interrelated, they didn't inbreed (much), so they weren't all the same bloodline. There are millions upon millions of McPhersons, Macgregors etc around the world.
It's a fact that over half of Scotland can trace their family back to Robert the Bruce in some way.
I'd concentrate on tracing your line back through your familes name now, not who they intermarried.
And the English are a different race from the Scots and Irish, were (the scots) are celts and the english are anglo saxon.

Dunno about being related, but apart from being dark brown haired and brown Eyed (Although the blues eyes are a recessive trait (My father and my daughter have them)
My Family name is Hay (AKA Delahaye circa 1066-1300 - Normandy) so that would indicate my name used to be French, although my Family (Hay has a Scottish clan tartan, shield and infamous historic peer Earl of Errol whose official residence was one Slains Castle)
other retrospective Family Names include, Mair, Mackay and Duthie, so it's unlikely we are related..

there are sooo many people with brown hair, blue eyes etc. Your best bet is to research your family history as thoroughly as possible and try to trace old photographs. I managed to get hold of a photo of a relative taken in mid 1800s who was the spitting image of my grandfather born many generations later! it was an amazing moment in my family history research.

They are some of the most common names in the UK. You are talking about hundreds of thousands of people.
