    1. [NTT] David Richard NUGENT b 1916 and Bertha NUGENT b c 1877
    2. Searching for father and place of birth of David Richard NUGENT and his mother Born January 1916 (diff dates given – 20/24 Jan) I established his mother was Bertha Nugent, (circa 1877) but whether married or single I cannot find out. He went to Worksop College (a public school, so who paid for it?) from1928 -1934, and later on Sandhurst. In the 1930s his mother lived in Ferring Sussex. She died in St Richards Hospital Chichester in August 1947, described as 70, single, of Walnut House, Rustington, possibly as a domestic or companion. The son believed his mother to have been married I have been in touch with several archivists/local historians (including Worksop College, Sussex County/Sussex and Suffolk Regiments, Sandhurst and Irish records) who have all been extremely helpful but no one can find any birth date or place for either of them nor any definite indication of a parental marriage. Yes, I have tackled all possible GRO etc records, including military. I did ask a month ago, but wonder if anyone new/returning might have any knowledge even someone who might have known him at school/Sandhurst (they will be in their 90s!) HELP! Jean
