His parents could have been working in Prussia - and then would have been classified British subject - only difference being that his parents may have been consular employees, or working for the Brit military together with the Prussians at that time. Have a look and see if his birth is in the 1837online register under Overseas Births.

The 1881 British census says my Great Grandfather Louis Price was born in Prussia, he was 48 in 1881. It also adds that he was a British Subject. Anyone have any ideas if records of that would be kept and where. Any help would be greatly received. thanks Ian Stanford p.s. I've had a look on 1837 not looking helpful. Thanks for the suggestion though. I think i'm dealing with someone who changed their name when they came into this country. ( going by the memories of old aunts)
