so we don't really know what to do next:
wait for my ILR and put her name on it or
apply her for brit citizenship or
apply her for a brit passport or
or don't know anymore

thanks for all the info's its very helpful
can you get someone to try and get your daughters legitimised birth cert and send it to you ? if you can do that, phone up IPS and check again, if they say yes she can apply, then apply for it, if by a small chance she is refused, then she can still go on your ILR as your dependant. so your only risking what i child passport cost, which is i think £46 !!.
