Default Ancestry Visa eligibility

Hi there,

My wife is a British citizen. We are wanting to move to the UK and I am eligible for an Ancestry visa through my grandfather. Do I still qualify for an ancestry visa if I am married to a British citizen? Someone recently told me I cannot enter the uk on this visa due to being married already to a British citizen.

That 'someone' is talking tosh. Being married to a BC makes no difference to your eligibility. What nationality are you?

+1!

For reference, it's all here (NO mention of marriage to a British citizen changing anything ):
