No it means he either told the enumerator he had the right to be here inferring he took naturalisation. You could check on the National Archives site ,by putting his name in the search box,to see if any records come up. Dont assume tho he didnt if nothing comes up .you will need to check at then at National Archives at Kew. Or!!! he was born in USA of British parents and registered at the British Consular there. .you could check the consular records on 1837 online but will cost to look |
