British Citizenship

[hellywelly4]

When my daughter was born abroad in 1964, we had to register her birth with the British High Commission even though both my husband and I were born in the U.K. so that she could have British nationality.
When did the rules change so that a child born in a foreign country to a woman born in Britain could be classed as having British Nationality?
It seems a huge change from the rules we knew.
I'm hopefully not being provocative or offensive, I'm just interested.

British citizenship by birth in the United Kingdom or a qualified British Overseas Territory. From 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK or the Falkland Islands to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK or the Falkland Islands is automatically a British citizen by birth.//

That doesn't answer it, sorry...

We live abroad. All our children were registered with the British Embassy and have British citizen ship as their mother was born in the UK but as my niece was born in Portugal her children have Portuguese citizenship. For my granddaughters children to have British citizenship they would have to be born in the Uk as I understand from the embassy here

Addendum this was from 1982

Another point. My niece has British Citizenship as she was the first generation born abroad but her children are not entitled as they were also born abroad. Had they been born in the UK they would have British citizenship
