That depends on how you got your U.K. citizenship. If you were born in the UK before 1983, you got the citizenship by birth in the UK alone. In such a case you can pass your U.K. citizenship to your child (by descent). Your child is automatically a U.K. citizen. Also, if either one of your parents was a U.K. citizen at your birth and you were born after 1983, you still can pass U.K. citizenship to your children (again by descent). Again, your child is automatically a U.K. citizen. However, if you were born outside the U.K. and got your citizenship by descent (one of your parents was a U.K. citizen), it becomes a little more difficult. You still can try to register your child as a U.K. citizen, but beware that you must meet certain requirements (such as having lived continuously in the U.K. for 3 years before the child's birth). Also, this is at the descretion of the Home Office, and your baby has no official "right" to be U.K. citizen. Here in detail:

In general, you cannot be born a British Overseas Citizen, as this is a residual category of citizenship created for those former Citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies who were not eligible to become either a British Citizen or a British Dependent Territories Citizen after the passage of the British Nationality Act 1983. If you were born a British Dependent Territories Citizen (now call British Overseas Territories Citizen) then you are now also a British Citizen by virtue of the British Overseas Territories Act 2002. You don't need to do anything special to have British Citizenship in this case; it is automatic. However, if you are actually a British Overseas Citizen, you can either register as a British Citizen after living in the UK for 5 years and hold Indefinite Leave to Remain for at least 12 months prior to your registration application. If you are married to a British Citizen, you can apply for naturalization after living in the UK for 3 years. Finally, through the provisions of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, a British Overseas Citizen who has no other citizenship has the right to register as a British Citizen.

Northern Irish citizens are entitled to British nationality, Irish nationality, or both (dual British-Irish nationality).Children born in Northern Ireland are British Citizens by default at the time of their birth, per United Kingdom nationality law. However, the child can almost immediately be registered as an Irish Citizen instead of (or as well as) a British Citizen, usually if born into an Irish family.

Dual citizenship or dual nationality is allowed in the UK. This means you can be a British citizen and also a citizen of another country. Not every country will grant dual citizenship.

Technically, it would make you a British citizen. As for example, both parents are of an African origin- Ghana. Therefore, you would classify yourself as an African. You r parents would be Ghanaian, and British, which is of dual nationality; if they were born there and immigrated to Great Britain. If you were to have both a British passport and a Ghanaian one, you would be of dual nationality too. You would then classify yourself as a British Citizen, with a Ghanaian background.
If you are born in the UK and have a British Passport with status as British Citizen (British Subject is different), you can stay out of the UK for as long as you like without losing your nationality, unless of course, you have applied for nationality of another country. Even then, you may still be entitled to dual nationality.
On a Marriage Certificate, held by the General Register Office, just as every British citizen's is. And like every British citizen who marries in a religious ceremony, the bride and groom, with their witnesses, sign the register held by the place of worship, too. In their case, that of Westminster Abbey.
You can't, but you might be able to become a British Citizen. If you don't know the difference between England and Britain, you shouldn't be trying to change your nationality.
