Welcome Steve!  ;D

I'm not particularly sure of the answer you need but I think that you should be able to emigrate relatively (no pun intended) easily.  Others here will know more and I'm sure will let you know. Perhaps check out the Visas section.

Steve, Welcome to UKY :)

About your question tho, if your mother still retains a UK passport and citizenship, that is what will make the difference.  You should read what it says on the Home Office website about ancestry. I think even if you can show that your grandparents were UK citizens that you can immigrate. The real guru's here should be along soon to say for sure tho :)

Grandparents would even qualify you?? Drats. That may have been less stressful than the fiance visa! Ah well.

I'm sure this will not matter at all, but according to my mother who was born in Hungary, (She and my grandparents all came here after the Revolution, and no longer have their Hungarian citizenships) now that Hungary is part of the EU, I am able to apply for dual citizenship there. 
Would have been funny though, I know about five words of Hungarian!!!!
I'm pretty sure though, that tebs and lynne are right about the grandparent thing in the UK though, I've heard that as well.

Can't help much with the citizenship issue but wanted to say welcome to UKY!
