The woman would become 'British by marriage'

As for not finding a birth......................it probably wasn't registered.

Have you researched Civil registration in Malta to find out when it came into force, and whether or not it was compulsory?

I imagine that this is connected to your numerous threads about the woman in question and her family

Included in the above is the following information, which you obviously did not take on board

Have you actually tried Google?

Seems that civil registration started in 1863. Also remember that Malta suffered greatly during WW2, and much was destroyed by bombing.
