If it is your first passport, then a GRO copy may not be good enough, as it is only a photo copy, so vol and page number is no use at local offices they all have their own system, you will probably need to apply to the registry office that registered your birth, but you can check with the passport office to confirm this.

We need to see original documents that prove you are British. We cannot accept copies

It should be on the complete index on Ancestry or Findmypast. If you can't find it in the qtr. you were born have you tried looking at the next quarter to when you were born as parents have 6 weeks in which to register a birth.
