Hi Maureen Yes Daddy was born in 1922 in Pindi. His mother May Charlotte Nye Picton Clark was born in Sibi and her father was John Clark born in Glasgow and mother Justina Picton Davies Born in Charlottesville USA to Welsh and Scot parents. May Married William James Cox who was born in Darjeeling and his father was Harry , a driver on the DHR born in Calcutta and Jesse Frampton born In Rawalpindi. No idea why Daddy had problems - he had been in the military straight from school and travelled on military papers apparently. First came over to England in 1944 with the RA to join the Airborne Parachute regt , went to Palestine and eventually was sent to Germany where I was born in 1960. It was only when we were coming back to the UK in 1961/62 and he tried to get me a passport he had problems. They added me to his passport and in big letter it says STATELESS ! My two brothers were born in England in 54 and 55 and had no problems at all. Ron now lives in Canada and has a Canadian passport and Jonathan has dual nationality and travels on his Irish passport. So I am the only one still with a British passport.

Everything I have read seems to indicate indicates that he would have had British nationality, so I would be interested to know if I have been misinterpreting things.
