    Not sure I follow this though.
    You will find her in the 1881 census.
    She was,by memory,bring treated for syphilis.
    Topic of conversation some years back.
    Can't put my hands on it for the moment.

      Well I do have a Mary Kelly who in the 1881 census was in the "Infirmary of The Whitechapel Union" Bakers Row. She is aged 23 (so born around 1858) and her place of birth Whitechapel. Occupation is shown as prostitute. Obviously it isn't possible to tell why she is in there so there must also be an admission/discharge record which might possibly show a home address. Hard to say, otherwise, whether this is the Shoreditch Mary Ann Kelly (and birth year and place of birth potentially are slightly different).

        Census was 3rd April.
        My Mary was still 21.
        Possibly the same person though.
        Church of England?

          It's not possible to tell religion from the census report.

          I believe, however, that the Shoreditch Kellys were C of E since the children, including Mary Ann were baptised at St Leonard's. I have a birth date of 27th April 1859 and baptism date of 22nd May 1859 for this Mary Ann Kelly..

                      Although the Place of Birth shows as Whitechapel, I wouldn't necessarily discount this on a census taken at somewhere like the Whitechapel Infirmary. My thinking is that it's unlikely the person completing the return went round every inmate getting accurate details and so probably made an educated guess in some cases. Shouldn't have done so obviously, but human nature being what it is...
                      I won't always agree but I'll try not to be disagreeable.

                            So sorry James Kelly in previous post may be wrong ...
                            More likely this one

                            1871 census
                            James Kelley age 29, general dealer, born Shoreditch, married to Lucy Wallace. Two daughters Sarah and Emma, living at no.4 Pleasant passage, Islington.
                            1881 census
                            James Kelly same address with wife and both daughters still.

                            Pat....

                              The problem at the moment is that although the names are a fairly close match, nothing else matches the MJK story. So we're happy to ignore the Irish, Carmarthenshire and Wales connections, for example, on the pursuit of the names whereas the opposite may be true. It is absolutely possible that Kelly's back story is completely fabricated but it is also possible that her true name wasn't anything like Mary Jane Kelly. I'm stating the obvious, of course, and all angles are fair game for exploration - I just think the likelihood of the Shoreditch Kelly's being able to be shown as correct is not that great.

                                Yep.
                                Not my Mary Kelly,but the next closest to the one in 1881 Census age wise.
