I had similar DNA inconsistencies. Ancestry reported primarily Scandinavian, Irish and Western European. MyHeritage reported English and Irish/Scottish/Welsh. The only possible explanation I have found is from a couple of sources: They say that there can be a strong Scandinavian impact in England based on the large migrations in the 8th through the 11th centuries. I have no idea if this is a valid reason for the differences.
