That is absolutely fine. Before 1983, Commonwealth citizens acquired British citizenship by registration, not by naturalisation (which was reserved for non-Commonwealth citizens). After 1983, children acquire British citizenship by registration, while adults naturalise. The language changes, but the effect remains the same.Londoner007 wrote:It appears both were just registered and not naturalized.
Given that your father was born in 1936 and was registered in 1970, that means that he acquired British citizenship by registration as an adult. Based on the provisions, it looks like he was registered in his own right, i.e. not by descent.Londoner007 wrote:Father: Certificate title - British Nationality Act 1948 Confirmation of Registration as a Citizen of The United Kingdom and Colonies

Not really, because the child is not in the UK but living in the same country as the mother. Even if the child was in the UK, your wife will still have to meet all the requirements for entry clearance spouse visa.If the child is registered as British, apart from needing to show less financial requirement, can argument be used that now child is BC and will be entering UK then the mother needs to be given Entry clearance too because child cannot cope without mother.
Either and only you can make that decision.The real decision to make is should just go settlement route for both or register child first
