Talk:Marcus Mumford

Removed?
Why was the following removed? "Marcus grew up in London with his parents who are the national directors of the Evangelical Vineyard Church, which has been cited as the reason for many religious references in his song-writing. “I’m not around London enough to be part of a community like that at the moment. Where I’m at in my life now, this is my community. But I love it, I love faith, and I respect my parents massively.” - says Marcus of his faith." It seemed like perfectly valid information to me.

Why is there so much that has been removed? Most everything had references from Marcus himself or interviews from him and/or the band. (talk) 27 December 2010 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lrhea83 (talk • contribs) 16:31, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

American or English?
Born in Anaheim, CA but English? How so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garymcm (talk • contribs) 20:20, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

He was born in California to English parents, which means he is; by birth an American, and he was raised in England. He is duel-citizen because he also has British citizenship. However he has said that he considers himself English because that is where he feels at home and has lived most his life. Lrhea83 (talk) 21:55, 25 February 2011 (UTC)lrhea83


 * I am not sure you are right. My sister was born in Malaya because my father was stationed there with the British Army. No one has ever suggested she is Malay. All those children of US military personnel with Us spouses, born in Germany or South Korea or Guam : are they all German or Korean or Japanese by birth? 174.3.118.174 (talk) 15:37, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

He has no sister
Marcus has one older brother, James, but no sister as the first paragraph incorrectly states. The article it references (2) makes no mention of James, Marcus' brother, having a sister, only a "sister-in-law", Carey Mulligan, who is Marcus' wife, not the brothers' sister. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.53.98.198 (talk) 00:04, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Name
where does the name Malcolm come from? Wasn't his full name Marcus Oliver Johnston Mumford? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.207.76.247 (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

He has British and American citizenship
There have been many edits by an unregistered user stating that Marcus is only English, however this is incorrect. He may identify as English, but he has British and American citizenship. What he identifies as has no bearing on what he legally is. The term "British-American" is used in the articles of Lily Collins, Rebecca Hall and Mischa Barton to name a few. As with Marcus, they all hold British and American citizenship. That is what matters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Someguywhat (talk • contribs) 21:16, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Whilst factually and legally, are you correct, read the first part of his Early Life section. He just happened to be born in America to English parents, who moved back to England when he was just half a year old. He has lived much of his life in England, identifies as English and his wife is English. He has no national affiliation with America other than where he happened to be born. Like I mentioned at the start, you are correct in that he is an American citizen by birth. However, by identifying him as ‘British-American’ in the lede is suggesting he identifies as half and half, which I don’t believe he does. The other examples you mention have an American parent, or identify as British-American through their citizenship as being a long-standing resident of the US and identifying as such, where both Marcus’s parents are English and he has lived most of his life there. Would you refer to Keanu Reeves as Lebanese? Or Cliff Richard as Indian? It’s the same concept. Scf1985 (talk) 23:35, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
