Hi Rob,

I don't think we have an age for George Hutchinson yet, although for what it's worth, both Bob Hinton and Brian Marriner have come across contemporary press articles giving his age as 28.

Cheers,
Ben

The common assumption is made that Smith could only be referring to Lawende as the witness he questioned. This may be a mistake.

Yes..No suspect list would be complete without the inclusion of the rude Diddles.

[Roy Corduroy]

Gotcha

[aspallek]

Thank you, Roy. I don't believe I've seen a list like that before. Simple but very useful.

[Sam Flynn]

Gotcha

Ah, so that's what a "cation" looks like.

"cat" + "iron", geddit?

...I'll get me coat.

Arbie La Bruckman's age was given as 29 in some newspaper reports; 39 in others. He, himself, said in at least one paper that he was born in 1862 which would make him 26 in 1888.

Carl Feigenbaum is just as tricky since it isn't quite clear exactly when he was born, or where, but he was born around 1840 (this date seems to be corroborated by his admission form to Sing Sing which listed his age in 1894 as 54). He was, therefore, 48 in 1888.

As silly, albeit fun, as the royal conspiracy is the theory does exist, and therefore those named in the consperacy would have to be considered suspects. That being said the ages of the conspirators would be as such:

Sir William Gull: 71
John Netley: 27 to 29 depending on when his birthday was, which is unknown
Walter Sickert: 28

Many books, documentaries, and other publications list Gull's age as 72. His birthday was December 31, so he was 52 days from his 72nd birthday, making him 71.

Again, no one knows John Netley's birthday, so he could have been anywhere from 27 if his birthday were after November 9th, all the way to 29 if it were in early in the year, say January.

Sickert was past his 28th birthday by exactly 3 months by the time of the Nichols murder, and about 6 months into the year for his next birthday.

Hope this helps.

How can Cream be a suspect when he was in prison in America? Did he teleport?
as did Prince Eddy [Scotland] Sickert [ France] rev Dodgson is just plain silly, sillier than even Maybrick. If not being there defines a good suspect, then the best suspect is Dickens, as he was old and dead. Miss Marple

[sdreid]

It was Cream's double who was in prison.

[miss marple]

And Paul McCartney died in the sixties and was replaced by an identical double who had a scouse accent, and played bass guitar and wrote music. Doncha just love doubles.
Who was that American evangelist who was caught out in a brothal on film and said it was his double? Miss Marple

[Mitch Rowe]

Hmm? Does anyone know the age of John Davies in 1888?
