Jack The Rippers Real Name? Anyone Know Or Have Any Idea?

[claire]

God.

A comment, not a culprit suggestion.

[Mascara & Paranoia]

Probably a William or a Thomas or a Joseph or a Henry or a dozen other names that were common/popular in Whitechapel at the time.

[quasar]

His name might have been Humphry John Smith.

[WEREWOLF HUNTER]

Agreed.
Some newbies really deserve a thrashing.

George you made me laugh so hard I almost needed oxygen...
im new here, but like you i know the difference between rookie and just
plain stupid...LOL thats universal...not just here...hahahahah


there was some ding dong on another part of this forum that i said something
too about his comment that in 1650 the judge presiding
over a trial of witches was american... i just shook my head and reminded
him that america wasnt even created untill 1776 and that that judge was
a wart of the CATHOLIC CHURCH, not an american... there were no americans in 1650 excecpt the native indians.....LOL

whatcha goanna do... cant live with em, cant shoot em....gezzzzzzzzzzzzz

[George Hutchinson]

Agreed.

Some newbies really deserve a thrashing. This was just a friendly question, albeit somewhat ignorant of the facts... but then, when was Casebook a place purely for the hardcore?

Bob - you missed an apostrophe in the word 'Lauren's' when your were criticising her punctuation.

Hello everybody,

I don't think Lauren is coming back to this thread. It's a pity, because she wanted to find out about something and she thought she had come to the right place. Let's be kinder to the new additions to the Ripper family.

Cheers

Jack's real name?--- probably not Jack.

How to get rid of a black eye?--- time. Time and leeches.

It's like totally not a joke! I was like trying to do similar research, and my wife was like "On no your not" and I was like "Whatever" and she was like "Okay....whatever" and I was like "Well i'm doing it anyway so chill"


On a sideline, does anyone know how to like totally get rid of a black eye?

Dude, that is soooo September 10th.

I remember overhearing a conversation between two high school girls who were discussing a boy in their school. One girl said " I used to like like him but I don't like like him any more." The leaders of tomorrow. Yikes.

c.d.

Yeah,but no,but......

This Lauren,yeah..she's totally ok....cause she's asked us a question,like
because she wants to know who this Jack The Ripper was..and like we don't know,so she'll have to take a chill pill,yeah??

Bob..........it's at this point that you really appreciate the "Queen's English".


Hi Lauren We're just having a bit of fun..we're historians.No offence meant.
Getting back to your question..
Unless someone finds something stored or hidden away since the 1800's that gives us a clue or has some new information,there's little chance of any solid new evidence on the case.Because we are discussing this on boards every day,and it's obvious that we know a lot about Jack the Ripper,it doesn't mean that we know who the murderer was,and have decided not to tell anyone else.

[Radical Joe]

was it you all along?

Sshhh. I haven't finished writing the diary yet.

[Mike Covell]

Can anyone tell me why Lauren starts her missive with 'okay'? It doesn't make any sense at all.

[Bob Hinton]

Okay so like,

okay so i was trying to do some research to find out his real name and/or who he was and some people said his name was really jack but some people was saying its not.

i have a feeling it was jack other wise where would they have got 'jack the ripper' from if his name wasnt jack, correct me if im wrong please

Can anyone tell me why Lauren starts her missive with 'okay'? It doesn't make any sense at all.

Why has she got a down on capital letters? Are we to assume that English is not Laurens first language?

I'm assuming the post is simply a joke!

[Limehouse]

Had his real name been Clive, I for one could understand why he went out and ripped women to shreds....

Graham

When I was seven years old and my sister was having her first baby I begged her to call him Clive! I wanted him to be called either Clive or Cyril (the Cyril Lord carpet chain adverts were everywhere in those days). Thankfully she called him - Graham!

I've always thought the killer was a local 'nobody' (i.e. - not one of the high profile named suspects) but I've never even considered what his first name might have been.

[WEREWOLF HUNTER]

Wow... Ur Something

okay so i was trying to do some research to find out his real name and/or who he was
)

SO...HMMMM....The entire london police, scotland yard, and every tom dick and harry back then couldnt figure out who jack was....

BUT YOUR GOING TOO ?

SIMPLY...AMAZING...
