Hi all,

This extraordinarily interesting and valuable thread came to a dead halt almost four years ago with no entries after Dec. 14th, 1885. What happened?

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

[Sam Flynn]

Whats going on here?

Most of a family infested by the scabies mite, Kat - a not infrequent occurrence, I'd wager, in those days. Look out for entries listing "scabies" or "phthiriasis" in the records, and they quite often appear in twos or threes.

Mmmmmmmm

Ready when you are, Chris Thanks for the thanks.

Note that someone we had down originally as "Spetzina" (in the 1888 batch) was actually "Spelzini" - I checked the Census, and she appears above:

09/12/1885,"Spelzini","Bridget",34,"16 George St","Widow",,"Rheumatism",13/12/1885,"Widow of Joseph (Glass pane maker)"

For clarity

I've only made a start on this

...by which I mean, I've only made a start on putting "Widow/Wife/Child of X (X's occupation)" into the "Remarks" column. The entries for 20/11/85-14/12/85 as posted above are complete.

[Sam Flynn]

28th Nov 1885 to 14th Dec 1885

Below are the records between the above dates. Please note that I've followed Chris's conventions, but have added one of my own, that doesn't compromise either the format or the data.

I've moved "Widow of..." and "Wife of..." to the "Remarks" column at the end - and have made a start on putting the (late) husbands' occupations there also, at least for the widows. I noted that there were a number of women in their 60s who were down as "Carman" or "Dock labourer", and realised that they must have been giving their spouse's occupations rather than their own. (I know times were hard, but... )

I've only made a start on this, and in the extract below you'll note that I've not touched those women whose husbands were still alive (quite right too!). I will be applying the convention more consistently in future, however - to wives and widows as well as children. It should make sorting and filtering spreadsheets simpler.

She was born c. 1802. She might have a couple of descendants mentioned in your other lists:

*Thomas Bateman, husband of Caroline. He was born c. 1820 in Surrey, England. He was listed as Head of household in Spitalfields, London during 1881.
*George T. Bateman, husband of Sarah E.. He was born c. 1833 in Shoreditch, Middlesex, England. He was listed as Head of household in Spitalfields, London during 1881.

[Sam Flynn]

Any idea if they were related?...

Thanks, Byzantine, for this and your other posts. All very interesting but, with respect, please bear in mind that many of these names are rather common, some extremely so (e.g. the name "Brown" was mentioned earlier - heaven help us with "Smith", "Davies", "Cohen" and "Kelly" - even "Nichols" and "Chapman", for that matter).

It would be tricky enough tracing possible links to the main characters in the Ripper story, without drawing attention to those surnames who are only vaguely connected to the case, or not connected in any significant sense at all. To give an idea about the enormity of the task, we'll eventually be talking well in excess of twenty thousand records I'd imagine, and we could fill a server with such speculation. It will add nothing to the study of the subject if "Jane Evans" might have been related to "Stanley Evans", simply because somebody spots a matching pair of names entirely unconnected with the case.

Sparking off speculative genealogical goose-chases on a whim isn't making the best use of these fascinating (and invaluable) transcripts. Please don't let's turn this thread into the biggest "What if?" or "Who's that?" exercise in the history of Ripperology - we've enough of those to be getting on with, I think

Sincerely, etc.

09/11/1882,"Barrett","John",54,"Convalescent Home","Single","Sailor","Rheumatism",

The most notable person of that surname involved in the Ripper case was , naturally, Thomas Barrett, the police constable who was first at the scene in the murder of Martha Tabram in 1888. John could be a relation of some sort.

Various lesser known figures of that name have been listed in various posting. Any idea if they were related?:

*Michael Barrett. A Fenian born in Drumnagreshial, Ederney area, County Fermanagh. He was executed on 26 May, 1868. His execution remains the last public hanging in Great Britain. Due to the Capital Punishment (Amendment) Act 1868, later executions took place behind prison walls.
*Richard Barrett. He was born c. 1851 in Middlesex, England. Listed as a Lodger in Christ Church, London during 1881. He was a resident of Flower and Dean Street.
*Ann Barrett. She was born c. 1854 in County Cork. Listed as a domestic servant in King's Bench, 4 during 1881.
*Michael Barrett. He was born c. 1860 in Islington, Middlesex, England. Listed as Lodger in Spitalfields, London during 1881. He was a resident of Flower and Dean Street.
*Mary A. Barrett. She was born c. 1861 in Spitalfields, Middlesex, England. She was listed as Head of household in Spitalfields, London during 1881.
*William Barrett. A boy discovered murdered at Upton Park on September 22, 1897. Case was listed among other unsolved cases in 1910.
*Mrs. Patrick Barrett. Niece of Francis Tumblety. Mentioned in 1907 to have inherited 10,000 dollars on the death of her uncle.
