There's also a John Thomas Nugent on the NSW deaths - 1944 - who lists his parents as Henry and Susan.
www.familysearch.org shows in Ancestral File:
Susan Gourlay, b. 1841 Ireland, died NSW in 1900, married Henry Nugent 1869 in NZ. Children listed for them include your Rebecca and a Sarah Nugent born 1880 and married William Joseph Mitchell.
There are two submitters (presumably relatives) listed for this file - you could try contacting them to find out which sources they used to compile the tree.
-
There may be a record of the family arriving from NZ which could list all the children - it may be easier to find if you have an approx date - which could be found on a death certificate for Susan or Henry. Susan's death certificate may give her parents, as an additional help.
Looking at the white pages www.whitepages.com.au - one of the ancestral file submitters is still at the same address - information could be a phone call away :)
