Hello all,
I plan on applying for a British passport 'by descent': My mother was born in London in the '50s and was a British Citizen, and I was born in '84 in the USA. As far as I can see, this entitles me to claim UK citizenship 'by descent' (correct?).
My problem: On her birth certificate her name is listed as Mary, where as on mine it's listed as Maureen. Her middle name and birthday is the same on both. Now, having Irish lineage, it is obvious to me that Maureen is the diminutive of Mary and that the two documents refer to the same person. I fear that this will be less obvious to whomever is processing the application, though.
Anyone had a similar experience? Do you think this will present an issue?
Thanks!
