Heights of all victims (C5 and others)

[Sarah D]

Does anyone know the heights of all the victims, C5 and others? I have Nichols, Chapman, Stride, Kelly, and Tabram's heights but I would just like to know what the others were in height. It would help with a research on the height of JTR's victims compared to other picquerism killers.

Sarah,

I just came across your post. Here are three more for you:

Catherine Eddowes - about 5 ft. tall

Alice McKenzie - 5 ft., 5 in. tall

Frances Coles - 5 ft., 0 in. tall

Good luck with your research.

Hello you all!

And now I notice this interesting thread...:anxious:

One interesting thing about the height; the height of Mary Kelly being 5'7" (=170,28 cm), it's a bit odd, that she hasn't been found by Welsh/Irish/London family photo comparison!


Why?! Because the average height of the contemporary Finnish men at the time was 170 cm (=approximately 5'7"). Some people on these boards have told, that the average height of the contemporary British men wasn't much more...

All the best

I think height is very important...

The avarage height of a British man in 1888 was 5 feet 7 inches!

Most of the known witnesses put Jack between 5' 6" and 5' 8". I don't think it's any It's any coincidence that most of the victims where around 5' 0" - 5' 5" a good height for a 5' 7" man to strangle?

The only exception is Mary Kelly who was taller, but may be this can be explained, after all kelly was killed lying down on her bed.
