German nationality in 1911 census

Can anyone help? My grandmother was born in 1888 to a German father and English mother. In the 1911 the family are described as holding German nationality. I know that the whole family changed their names during the first world war, but never took steps to do so legally. Would they in fact have been considered German in 1911, or would their birthplace and that of the English have made them British? I haven't been able to find a UK marriage record for the parents, so it is possible that they were married in Germany.

Thanks in advance!
