Well, I know an elderly gentleman who had never had a birth certificate or passport, had never been abroad, had to go abroad for a wedding... Discovered that the place holding the record of his birth (in a tiny village) burned to the ground in the 1950's... So there simply wasn't one.
He did manage to get a passport through other means of establishing British citizenship though. Its just a longer / more involved process.
