OP for the purpose of EU law, a British Citizen born before 1st January 1983, can evidence her British Citizenship by a simply Birth Certificate.
I understand you will need to get a passport to exercise treaty right, but you biggest hurdle is resolved, as you have a birth certificate, applying for a passport is a mere formality.
You can even apply for a right of abode.
Saving is needed if a person income is either less than 18,600 and wishes to use their savings to boost it up to that level, or the person has 62500 is only needed if the person has no employment, and can show they have held this amount for 6 months.
The 62500 is worked out as this.
62,500-16,000/2.5= 18600.
16,000 is the amount a person will need to have before they will become ineligible to claim any benefit.
Once the 16,000 is deducted the remaining is divided for the length of the leave that will be granted , which is 30 months, to get the figure of 18600 required to sponsor a partner.
