1890s Ned Kent and wife Susan (nee Carrucan) with adopted child John Thomas Flanagan

Susan Carrucan (1862 - 1943), the third eldest child of Patrick Carrucan and Mary O'Brien, married Edward Shae (Ned) Kent (1858 - 1907) in 1881. Susan and Ned had no children of their own so they adopted John Thomas Flanagan who was orphaned at the age of 8 years, in 1887. He grew up with Sue and became a solicitor, working in Middle Brighton.
