Hello David,
27% having both parents born in Australia does not mean 73% are
first generation. Take my wife for instance, her father was born in London
and came to Australia when he was four years old.
My wife's mothers parents were both born in Australia.
So my wife would not consider herself to be one of the 73%.
My mothers father was born in London and her mother was born on the Marquis
of Qeensbury 3 weeks out of Sydney in Australian waters, hmmm gets
complicated doesn't it.
The situation on my side of the family, great great grandfather born in
Bath, great great grandmother born in London, from there on all born in
Australia.
So are my sons 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation Aussies ?
However my grandson's mother was born in the UK, so what does that make him ?
