Please bear with me as this might be a bit rambly but the crux of my post is:
Are Nathaniel and Ralph one in the same person or are they different people albeit still brothers?
This is what I know for certain:
Ralph was killed in action on 25 Sept 1915 as confirmed by his medal record card - there are no other initials listed. (On the CWGC site there is scant extra info on him but his brother Richard Barrington Pigott who was killed on 21 Dec 1916 has his parents names listed etc)
I know there was a boy called Ralph in the family as Pouncey's daughters were told about their uncles being killed in WW1 - but are slightly unclear on Nathaniel.
Nathaniel M Pigott is with his parents and some of his siblings on the 1901 census RG13 Piece 800, Folio 52 p16 BUT two of his siblings are listed by their second names Maud is in fact Cecilia and Lancelot is Pouncey (yes really ). I can't see that the initial after Nathaniel's name is anything but an M....and given his age either 1888 or 1889 could be his year of birth.
Their parents are Charles Richard Pigott and Jessie M Pigott
There are 2, or 3 if Ralph is a separate person, siblings missing from the 1901 census: eldest brother Shreeve John Pelling Pigott b1883, Mary Phyre b1886, and Ralph and I can't find them either.
Now conjecture
Nathaniel is down as being born in Bega NSW but when looked for previously no sign of him but the other Australian children are there/findable. A KS in Oz did the look up for me - and there was no Ralph either.
Ralph may or may not have been born in India in 1888. His elder sister Mary Phyre Pigott was born in Bengal on 22 Nov 1886 but I can't find Ralph's birth.
If anybody can nail Ralph or Nathaniel's birth down that would be really helpful. Both names are 'family' names.
I've definitely gone greyer due to this pair/person! Back later this evening.
