  • John Rowland Gibson and Jack!

    Found this in Rootschat here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index...,131519.0.html

    John Rowland Gibson was born 1815 in Ealing. In 1837 he married Hannah Louisa Burt b1817 from Diss, Norfolk. They married at St Ann Blackfriars. They are not on the 1851 census. On the 1861 census they are at Bloomsbury, London with children George 1846, Harriett 1849, Alice 1851, and Edith 1856. What children did they have between 1837 and 1846? Where were they during this time? John Rowland Gibson was a Superintendent Surgeon of prisons and oversaw the transportation of convicts to Australia. He was Ships Surgeon on the 'Minden' in 1851 and at least one other around then. There was a Henry Gibson in New Zealand, born c1837 London, father John, mother Hannah.
    During the Whitechapel murders, Henry Wainwright was convicted because he was in possession of body parts. As Superintendent Surgeon of prisons, John Rowland Gibson oversaw the execution of 'Jack the Ripper' and declared him dead.John and Hannah saw out their days in Bloomsbury, but if anybody can help to provide history before 1861, I would be really grateful.

    Hmmm. Wainwright was actually hanged in 1875.

      Thanks for solving the case for us, Mike. She would all just reconvene over at the Lizzie Borden site?

        I came across this whilst looking for something totally unrelated, and must admit, I was baffled, but didn't reply, opting instead to post the information here!

          (I'll be nice and spare you your usual diatribe that makes fun of people with dyslexia and other known learning disabilities... )

            I don't make fun of people with dyslexia. I chastise the majority of people who DO NOT have dyslexia, but claim to, because they're lazy.

            I thought you had me on ignore? You never reply to my posts.

            Yours truly,

            P.S. Mike Covell is the anti-Christ.

              I am rarely here...

              No, I don't have you (or anyone else) on ignore...your posts are way too much fun for that!

              Seriously, you do have a lot of good Ripper information, it's your political and other posts that are unintentionally hilarious...

              I especially love it when you and AP "girlfight"...

              What did Mike Covell ever do to you to be termed the "anti-Christ"? sheesh...
