Thanks Rob...seems as if I had forgotten what all that hubbub was about now. I appreciate the reply.

Hi Howard,

I posted a copy of the word here: http://forum.casebook.org/showthread.php?t=1100
as well as my excuses for typing 'a' instead of 'o' in my initial post in this thread.

Robert Clack mentioned this last April:

Just a correction to my first post in this thread, Stephenson's case as written in the London Hospital records was neurosthenia and not neurasthenia as I had put.

Not that the actual complaint and its symptoms and its correct spelling means that much anymore regarding the non-starter Stephenson...but wasn't I arguing this point a year or so ago and then see someone... who has vanished from the field in the interim... make the bold assertion that it was "clearly" neurasthenia?

Thanks to you,Rob, for setting the record straight.

Hi Greg,

Yeah your right. If I remember correctly the Evans we were looking for turned out to be a John Morgon Evans.

All the best

The Morgan Evans you found at 362 Commercial Road was my great grandfather, and I'm afraid I'm pretty sure he isn't the guy you're looking for.

I think a few are about the Reverand John Morgan Evans, I can make out that much, but if there is anything i'll pm you, thanks again.

Hi Robert,
Yeah, the Welsh papers are full of stuff about John Morgan Evans' ! Just wish I knew what they were on about!!

Hi Debs,

If you - or anyone else - has a Welsh (language) Ripper-related article you need translating, please don't hesitate to PM me, and I'll gladly oblige.

[Debra A]

Cheers Robert, I'll check that out, I must have missed the full stop after the Dr bit when I looked!

[Robert]

Sorry Debs, it was 1890.

From Western Mail Nov 13th. The whole article is rather long.

Was he in Wales in 88 then? Do you have the details of the Cardiff case?

[Robert]

Debs, yes there was a Dr Morgan Evans in Wales....but then there'd have to be! He worked on a Cardiff murder around 88 I think.

[Debra A]

There isn't a Dr Morgan Evans in the 1913 medical directory. The only place I've seen a Dr Morgan Evans mentioned was to do with the history of an old house in Wales, built by a Dr Morgan-Evans as a house and surgery in 1903, even then I think the name is a double barrelled surname as it appears with a hyphen.

He was there after all under the name John Morgan Evans

The Cottage Llandrindod Wells, Radnorshire
1886, Aug. 23 E
Lic. R.Coll Phys. Lond, 1885
Mem. R. Coll.Surg. Eng., 1886

He was the same Dr Morgan-Evans that had the house and surgery built in 1903
