"British ancestors" are parents, grandparents, great grandparents (or further back) who came from or lived in Britain. Britain is considered to include England, Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, and sometimes smaller islands such as Orkney, the Isle of Man, etc.

Sometimes the term "British ancestors" is used to refer to the British Isles, rather than just the island of Britain. Then the tern includes Ireland and all the small islands nearby.
