  • Unsolved Female Murders 1891 - 1914

    Just been reading a book called Unsolved Murders In Victorian London by Jonathan Oates. At the end of the book it lists a number of unsolved murders which maybe of interest, not from a Ripper point of view, but from a generally unsolved case side. Anyone got any info on these murders?

    Also connected to London, by train for instance, and unsolved to my knowledge:

    Elizabeth Camp - 1897 - beaten

    Sophia Mary Money - 1905 - beaten

    Elizabeth Bailes - 1908 - cut throat
    This my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking.

        I'd be interested to learn more about...

        MARY MARSHALL, BETHNAL GREEN - 22 OCT 1897

        ...if anyone has any further information that they could share.


        Just out of further interest, I assume that there were solved murders in Bethnal Green at the same time, can anyone confirm this?

            Mary Ann Hogg

            Mary Ann Hogg was with her sister when she had her throat cut by a burgler. Her sister was also injured but escaped. That's all I know, I'm afraid.

              Station Cat. Its Margaret Marshall. Thats why you could not find anything.
              A brutal murder at 10 Peel Grove Bethnal Green Sept 1897. Margaret Marshall 71 was an elderly lady of means who owned several properties and shares in gas and water companies, lived alone and collected her rents and no friends visited her. On the thursday before her death she was seen in the company of a strange woman. On Friday morning police broke into her house and found her in a pool of blood. She had been stabbed eight times on the left side of her face, the right side battered with a blunt instrament. She was dresses in a skirt bodice and stockings with no clothes below her waist. Nothing was stolen. Two instruments were used one blunt ,one sharp but they were not found.

              There was a Mary Marshall murdered at Tynemouth in 1894, stabbed by a soldier.

                They were obviously all killed by Crossmere

                  Odd, the last name "Hogg" is not uncommon (James Hogg was a governor of Texas in the early 20th Century, with a daughter notoriously named "Ima" ; and there was a Scotts author also named James Hogg). But Mary Hogg was also the name of an earlier murder victim - the victim (with her infant child) of her unsuccessful rival for her husband Frank Hogg, Mrs. Mary Eleanor Pearcy, in 1890.

                  Also curious that the name of the next female victim on that list at the start of this column has the last name "Pook", which was the last name of Edward Pook, suspected of the murder of Jane Clousen in 1871 in Eltham (but acquitted, due to a problem about a key piece of evidence being hearsay).

                    Not read the book, but can anyone clarify whether Hogg was Camberley (as posted) which is Surrey or Camberwell which is most definitely London? Parker pyne?
