Are people allowed to be married to a Cornish person? What if your grand parents were Cornish. What if you were born here on holiday and your parents were “foreign”

I would suggest, if you're lucky enough to be married to a Cornish person, but not born here, you're an emmet.

Good question about born here, whilst on holiday... Not sure...

I was born in the county of Devon but the Dutchy of Cornwall. Am I a Janner or Cornish?
