I think identity has more to do with where your heart resides, rather than just simply a matter of where you were born. A lot of black Americans feel 'African' despite being born in DC, Atlanta or New York etc... Imigrants describe themselves [even after several generations] in a double-barrelled form: African-American, Irish-American, [oddly enough you don't hear of too many 'English-Americans'...the old enemy] French-Canadian, etc...
So I'm not surprised many would see themselves as Liverpudlian, [Liverpolitan?] or Scouse, if there is a family connection here.
