The child will be British by descent from your lineage. It may also be able to claim your other nationality if you have retained this and it is permitted within the scope of that nationality law.
In addition (or primarily) the child will certainly have the nationality of the mother. If the mother is living in a country other than her nationality, the child may also be able to accept the nationality of that country if it is permitted within the scope of that nationality law.
