Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

But I mean what would they do? Would it be in relation to a Polish embassy, a British passport? I'm not being funny with you at all, I'm genuinely asking in what way they might be able to help.

I...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

I've had a reply from the war veterans society or whatever they're called. They basically said they can't help but to reader it to the Archive of New Records so I've now sent them an email. I'm...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

I haven't looked through those archives no, unfortunately they're not digitised and I live in Manchester now, a long and expensive journey away from London. I may try and look into finding cheap...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

I remembered I did get a reply from the consulate last year, which is below, but they didn't respond to my further questions. It was a very copy and paste blanket response as you can see and it made...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

Thank you. I don't even know where to begin with the Polish passport, which is the problem. I think my mum would happily take a Polish passport, any passport would do really! We just don't know how...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

A trip to Canada to meet her great uncle who she has never met and who she didn't know was alive. She has little choice bit to find a way to make that happen. He's 84 so whilst he's very fit and...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

Oh, we were always under the impression it was Southern Rhodesia. We only found out the name of the camp very recently, I obviously haven't done enough research there.

So if the NA have no record...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

That's my concern too. It is beyond me how my mother hasanaged to get to the grand age of 68 without a birth certificate and without that ever being an issue but it seems that we may have finally hit...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

Putting aside lack of documentation, would being born in Southern Rhodesia in 1947 entitle my mother to a British passport? I'm unsure of this. Or would it be more that she would be eligible to apply...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

I'm fairly certain that neither of them have ever been issued a British passport as I don't get the impression my grandmother would have really known how to go about anything and they never left the...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

Thanks everyone. It's a confusing and difficult situation!

My mum has a bank account which I assume she opened no problem. She has worked from the age of 16 until she retired. She gets a state...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia

Thank you to you both. I have completed the NA request form for both my mother and grandmother to see what they come back with. We have, rather amazingly, discovered a surviving sibling of my...

Re: British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia

No my mum has never held any passport. I don't know whether my grandmother did. She was in a displaced persons camp in S.R. and came over with a number of other people from the camp. I believe she...

British passport/citizenship and Southern Rhodesia --> moved to UK Immy

Hi there everyone, I'm new here so sorry if this isn't the place to ask about this.
