Hello; the tearm Anglo-Saxon is a bit of an oddity and probably should be removed. It does not include the Scandinavian/Viking element of the period that Anglo-Saxon is referring to. Of it is to be kept then it will need to be changed to Anglo-Saxon-Jutes-Native-Britains.

The ethnic makeup of the peoples who migrated aren’t even really known. We have no idea how they ID’d themselves. By the time we have writing from them they are saying Anglian or Anglisc aka English.
