Thomas & Eliza's Children - John Robert Dent

John Robert Dent (Jack) was the 6th of Thomas & Eliza's children.  He was born on the 28th August 1902.  In 1929 he married Eleanor Avery (Nellie) who was born on the 8th December 1905. 

Jack, like his brother Luke, worked at Vickers Armstrong - the 1939 Register shows that Jack worked as a "Maintenance Engineer Armaments."

The 1939 Register also shows they lived close to Vickers at 86 Roberts Street, Scotswood.  Here is a photograph taken, in 2009 of what was left of Roberts Street, obviously, just before these remaining houses were completely demolished.

By 1953 the Electoral Register shows John Robert and Eleanor were living at 36 Netherby Drive Fenham with their children. 

John and Eleanor had two children:

Their son Frederick (Fred) born 1930 -1989 - married Mary Agnes Young. They had 5 children, Alan, Ann, Marian, Paul, and Catherine. 
                                  
Their daughter Claudia born 1931 - In 1957 married William Hoggett. The 1958 Electoral Register records that Claudia and William were living with her parents at 36 Netherby Drive after they married.

John and Eleanor's final home was a bungalow at 18 Rudchester Place Fenham, Newcastle upon Tyne.
