This is a difficult case, as British nationality has changed significantly over the last century.

Without seeing the passport (or a copy) it is difficult to say, as subsequent endorsements in it could have changed your father's status.

One would have to determine what happened to the colony and who its population was subsequently treated under nationality law.

If you wish to discuss this matter further, I would recommend you give me a call or an e-mail and we can see if it is possible to determine whether you have any status in the UK.
