A bump for the JtR Map

A bump for the JtR map

-- Wouldn't it be worth adding Lechmere's mother's 1888 address in Maryann Street and Lechmere's own just-vacated address in James Street?

A few more names I don't see ...

John Richardson: 2, John-street

Albert Cadosch [Cadoche]: I live at 27, Hanbury-street

Edward Spooner: I live at No. 26, Fairclough-street

Dr. G. W. Sequeira: 34, Jewry-street, Aldgate

George Morris: night watchman at Messrs. Kearley and Tonge's tea warehouse, Mitre-square

Joseph Lawende: I reside at No. 45, Norfolk-road, Dalston

Although 253 Whitechapel Road is already on the map, perhaps add a reference to the 'Coram knife'.

Thomas Coram: I live at No. 67, Plummer's-road, and work for a cocoanut dealer. On Monday shortly after midnight I left a friend's house in Bath-gardens, Brady-street. I walked straight down Brady-street and into Whitechapel-road towards Aldgate. I first walked on the right side of Whitechapel-road, and afterwards crossed over to the left, and when opposite No. 253 I saw a knife lying on the doorstep.
[Coroner] What is No. 253? - A laundry. There were two steps to the front door, and the knife was on the bottom step.

Perhaps also a reference to Der Arbeter Fraint offices.

Thanks.
I'll add these (if I can find the locations on the map)

Thanks
I have added Woolf Wess to the map but can't locate Morris Eagle's house on New Road (No.4) because the British Library website (maps is still down for that particular map. Can someone screenshot where No.4 New Road is?
thanks

Thanks Richard.
Not sure about Eagle's house location. He possibly took the same route as PC Smith, to get to Leman St police station.

What is the most likely address for Aaron Kozminski?

Fantastic, Richard!

Woolf Wess: I reside at No. 2, William-street, Cannon-street-road

Morris Eagle: I live at No. 4, New-road, Commercial-road

Thanks, Richard,
Now the + and - buttons appear at the bottom right . It's much more convenient, because, yes, I work on a laptop.

Brilliant, thanks
and thanks for the feedback and query about the missing +/- buttons. I want the map to be accessible on all devices and I forget sometimes about these things.
thanks again

[richardh]

Thanks for your work, Richard.
However, when I display the map, I no longer have access to the + and - keys to zoom in or out. Is this normal?

Try it now, Charlie.
I have made the window shorter so the + and - buttons should show up in the bottom right of the window.
Let me know
(I assume you're not using a mouse (maybe on a tablet or laptop?) but with a mouse, you can use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out.

UPDATE
Added more annotations and altered the website so it should automatically open the map in full size in the browser.
This will make it easier to quickly view and browse the map.
Please have a look and tell me how to improve the layout design etc.

It is possible to allow comments to be posted and placed on the map BUT that requires an upgrade to Miro which is an astronomical £56 so... nope
Not sure how they justify £56 for the lowest-level upgrade. A tenner, maybe, but not £50+ quid!

I might write my own script that will do the same job as Miro but with all the bells and whistles.

My apologies for this address error. I just read this post from 2016 that I had missed before: https://forum.casebook.org/forum/rip...cable%20street

No need to apologize. Joseph and Maria Loiusa Forsdyke moved from 1 Mary Ann Street to 139 Cable Street some time between January and December 1889. Fisherman got the address wrong and is assuming the move took place before September. Those are hardly his only assumptions and errors about the case.

[Charlie]

The 147 Cable Street address for Lechmere's mother is also wrong. Electoral Records show that she and her third husband Joseph Forsdyke lived at 1 Mary Ann Street from 1884 through 1889.
