Since 1st January 1983, just being born in the UK does not give a child British citizenship. Only children born to a British citizen or to people settled in the UK (having ILR) can claim British citizenship.

So, go through your parents' old passports to see if they had ILR status in the UK before you were born. If not, you can't claim British citizenship.
