(3) that he his father or his mother is or was a
person naturalised in Gibraltar before 1 January 1983; or
(4) that he his father or his mother was registered in Gibraltar as a British Dependent Territories citizen or, before 1 January 1983, as a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies; or
(5) that he his father or his mother was descended from a person who acquired his citizenship wholly or partly by reason of (1), (2), (3) or (4) above or would have done so but for his death; or
(6) in the case of a woman, that she or her mother
was married to a man who acquired his citizenship wholly or partly by reason of (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) above or would have done so but for his death; or
(7) that he his father or his mother was descended
from a woman who acquired her citizenship wholly or partly by reason of (6) above or would have done so but for her death; or

[Expressions used above shall have the same meanings as in the British Nationality Act 1981 and for the avoidance of doubt the words "he" and "his" in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (7) and (8) shall be taken to include "she" and "her"]
