Answer 1

Being born in the UK does not give automatic right to British citizenship. A lot depends if one of your parents was British born and if your parents were married at the time of your birth.

  Going on what you are saying and the information from the home office you can not unless you lived in the UK. Through the fact you were born there does not give you citizenship.
