I have an ancestor who was born in India in 1883 to parents who were both born in India and were of Scottish and English parentage. In 1919, following her marriage to an American soldier, she applied for a US passport and on her application stated that she had a British passport issued by the Foreign Office in 1915 and she gave the Passport number. I would assume that she was, for some reason, thus given British citizenship even though she was the second generation born in India on her father¹s side and the third on her mother¹s. Cathie Sherwood
