The Sussex report of his death gives a few details of his training and also shows he did not go directly to Hastings but was at Kingstown, Ireland, for at least a short while. The presentation on his leaving Corse in November 1897 also indicates he was going to Ireland.

DEATH OF DR. NASON.
LOSS TO THE OLD TOWN.

We regret to announce the death of Dr Charles St. Stephen Richard Nason, of High street, Hastings, which occurred on Monday afternoon from bronchitis and pneumonia. Dr. Nason, who was 50 years of age, had been ill only few days. He was a native of County Cork, and possessed the characteristic Irish geniality of temperament. His sudden loss is much regretted. He had practised about six years in Hastings; first at Collier-road, West Hill, and afterwards at High-street. He became M.B. in 1882, M.A. (Dublin) and M.D. in 1883, and was a Master of Surgery. After taking his degrees he went to St. Helen's, and subsequently practised at Corse, Gloucestershire, for long time. Later he went to Kingstown, near Dublin, and afterwards came from Ireland to Hastings. Dr. Nason leaves a widow, two sons, and one daughter. One the sons, Mr. J. W. Nason, is a most promising amateur cricketer, who headed the Hastings Rovers’ batting averages last, season. The funeral was arranged to take place yesterday (Friday) at Corse, Gloucestershire.
