Aussies can get a UK passport if they have UK grandparents.

I have a grandparent who was born in WA and was killed in WW2 fighting for Australia. My grandmother (now alone) returned to England to be with extended family.

Anyone know if I have chance - or if its worth looking at??

Cheers

As far as I know, you have to be a child of someone who was a citizen at the time of your birth.

But you may find something on this website

I've linked to the citizen by descent page, but there may be something there if you dig for it.

Don't know how the law stands now, but when my child was born (in Africa to a SA father) we were allowed to apply for a Brit passport because of having British grandparents in the family. We got the passport so worth looking into.

We enquired about this with an agent about ten years ago before we had all the necesary points to go skilled independant - OH's grandad was Aussie and died in WW2. Back then we were told that if he was living we would have a chance but as he was dead we had no chance!!! Might have changed now though, as I said this was ten years ago. If you cant find the info on the link wendy gave to you try phoning an agent.
Or do what we did and get your head down to get your points up....
Good Luck

We are applying for citizenship as my OH mom was Australian born, although lived in UK for most of her life. We are using an agent called Ian Harrop in Oxford who has been really helpful, in fact he was the only one who suggested this even though other agents were aware of OH mom. Not sure about grandparents though, sorry.
