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.
