Sounds more like a question of getting British Citizenship, lots of threads on the subject.

He's dual assuming you can pass on your British citizenship.

As a US citizen, get him:
* birth certificate
* social security number
* US passport

As a UK citizen, get him:
* UK passport
* consular record of birth
