British Citizenship ...again!
I have read the British Citizenship rules.
They say that " If you were born before 1 July 2006 and your parents weren’t married when you were born (and haven’t married since), you can’t get British citizenship through your father."
Does it therefore hold good that if the Parents HAVE married since, then the child CAN get British Citizenship automatically through the Father?

Yes, this is normally the case, where the subsequent marriage of the parents legitimises the child in question. Even if that is not the case the law will change on 6 April to allow children of unmarried British fathers to register as British citizens regardless of whether their parents ever married providing they can prove paternity.
