◆ George Oliver Towards Illustrating the Biography of the Scotch, English and Irish Members SJ
NUGENT,WILLIAM I meet with two Members of this name. The second was born in Ireland on the 13th of April, 1692, and promoted to the Priesthood on the 7th of September, 1729. He died the 14th of December, 1737; but I doubt if he continued in the Society. Q. Was not his name Birmingham?
