Notes for Robin Edmund BROOKE SUMNER Why did this generation double the surname? The Brooke and Sumner
connection is, I believe, an administrative error. Jocelin Brooke SUMNER
and my grandmother Nellie UPTON were divorced in 1916 after the birth of
my father, Robin Edmund, in 1909, in Johannesburg South Africa. The
divorce notice gives Jocelin's surname as BROOKE SUMNER (he had left South
Africa) and this, in a nutshell, is how the name came about. [98]
During September 1922, his father, together with his mother and step-
father, travelled to England on the
Balmoral Castle presumably to take Robin to
Dover
College, Kent which he attended from 1923. [98]
