Some people from Jersey refer to themselves as British (which is quasi-accurate). Some people refer to themselves as Normanic, or some even French! People from Jersey are not English (in the same way the Welsh are the Welsh, the Scottish are the Scottish and the Irish are the Irish). The correct/official way of describing persons from Jersey are 'Jerseymen' and 'Jerseywomen'. Calling them anything else may offend unless you are on good terms.
As a general rule, people from Jersey are very pro-Europe (despite not being a part of the 'European Union'), and would describe themselves as being more a part of Europe than the mainland United Kingdom is - on the basis of geography and French cultures. On the reverse side, people from the UK mainland as a 'general rule' wouldn't refer to themselves as European!
