Nichols & Stride photos

[JDow]

Hi all,

Don't know if they've been asked before, but I stumbled upon this:

Does anyone know the provenance of these photos? i.e. are they genuine?

I seem to recall a discussion about these quite along time ago. Link is here:

The website looks familiar.

Catherine Eddowes looks very prosperous for 1883!

That was my thought - given she was already living in a common lodging house in 1881. Have to say, though, that the facial similarities in the Stride picture are quite striking.

If that is them it's very sad. To see them in life, alive and well, and then consider the horrible end they met. God rest their souls
