@vinny, would an Ancestry visa issued by the UK government be automatically valid in the Crown dependencies (the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) or will the OP need to apply for a fresh Ancestry visa from the governments of those places in order to work there?
To the OP: Each Crown Dependency has separate immigration laws applicable to non-British citizens (even though they are aligned to the UK's policies) and not all visas are transferable across jurisdictions. Once you acquire British citizenship, you can move and work freely across the UK and Crown Dependency, but as a non-British citizen, you may be subject to visas issued by differing authorities and differing laws and requirements.
