If I can muck it up a little.

On thread yesterday a poster reported that the UK did not make Kenyan's british citizens. So the father wouild be a citizen of Kenya.

Anybody?

As far as I know, incorrect at that time.

Btw, if anyone is interested in reading the laws in Kenya at that time there is a searchable database from the Kenyan government. For example, you can find that you could not mix statutory marriages with customary marriages. Therefore, Ann would have had to go to Kenya to get married. Their marriage here IF THERE EVER REALLY WAS ONE, was illegal and punishable by a jail sentence.

Kenyans were "citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies" until Kenyan independence in 1963. At that point, Kenyans lost British citizenship and instead had Kenyan citizenship.
