Grandmother born in UK - settlement possible?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

In general, nationality is decided by the nationality of your parents on the date of your birth, so it generally depends on the actual nationality of your husband's parents when he was born and if UK nationals, what they did to notify the UK authorities of his birth.  It could well be that they registered his birth and there is a UK birth certificate laying around somewhere.

You as an EU national have the right to live and work in the UK until the end of 2020, when the EU transitional period ends (note - if the agreement is signed before that, then the transitional period also ends, the sooner you get here the better).

With regards to your husband - there is a thing called a UK Ancestry visa; the details of how to apply can be found on the UK Government website, this link will take you straight there.

So, my advice is first to check if your husband is entitled to a UK passport, (so, his parents notified/registered his birth and he has a UK birth certificate); if so, apply for his passport now.  If not, then pursue a UK ancestry visa for him.

Hope this helps.
