Why can I not pass on British citizenship to my daughter?

[maggeo]

Hi all. Maybe someone here can explain to me why I cannot pass on British citizenship to my newborn daughter. Some info below to explain to you my background:

Me: British by descent (from my parents), born abroad while parents on business. Not married to the mother (yet).

My Father: British otherwise than by descent, born on a British Military base in Cyprus.

My Mother: British otherwise than by descent, born in Cyprus (while Cyprus was also still a British colony). After she married my father she received her British citizenship from him.

My Gradparents (father's side): British, served 27 years in the British Army.

My daughter: Born in Cyprus, to a Cypriot mother.

Question; Why and where does it say that I am not eligible to pass my British citizenship to my daughter? This is what was told to me by the consulate in Cyprus.

Thanks.
