Provided you have your mother's birth certificate and your birth certificate indicating you are her son, I would have thought you'd be ok. As an idea, I had to provide the following (off the top of my head):
- my British birth certificate
- my parents' passports from the time of my birth
- my parents' marriage certificate (Why? Don't ask me!)
- my parents' birth certificates (Again, not sure why.)
- a letter from the Home Office confirming my parents' permanent residency
