To be honest, Mollys being a separate ethnic group is pretty nonsensical. 820 years of being Bretonian plus however many centuries away from Earth on the outer belt of Sol would have completely destroyed the English/Welsh/Irish/Scottish identity.
All that'd be left is various new regional subtypes of Bretonian. The Irish/Celtic backstory was simply something the Molly factions whipped up to excuse using Irish accents in a system called Dublin. The desire for space-IRA must be strong for many, but it's also kinda low hanging fruit.
Apt comparison: I don't identify as Saxon, but I've probably got Saxon ancestors from ye olde 1,000 year ago UK. The Saxons don't exist as an ethnicity any more, because in the intervening centuries they were superseded by new cultural identities as populations moved around and new groups replaced them.
