My mother was born in uganda in 1936, i was born in pakistan in 1978, am i eligible for british registeration?
Find answers to your legal question.

she was the holder of british subject and british over seas citizenship before,and now she is full british citizen and living in uk since 2005,my grand mother was born in uganda in 1906 she was holding british protectorate and british subject.my grandfather was registered british citizen under 1948 act.

Astray A

British Nationality Act 1948
Because the nationality laws of India and Pakistan did not provide for citizenship for everyone who was born in their countries (see Indian nationality law), the British Government refused to "declare" their nationality laws for the purposes of the Act, and therefore those British subjects from these countries who did not become Indian or Pakistani citizens were never absorbed as CUKCs by the British Government. They remained British subjects without citizenship. The answer is no you are not eligible for British citizenship.
