I'm still researching Lilian Reardon of Millers Court as per the previous post, so far without success. I've ordered the death certificate for her son Charles who died in 1909.

I'm still researching Lilian Reardon of Millers Court as per the previous post, so far without success. I've ordered the death certificate for her son Charles who died in 1909.
In the meantime, I've received the birth certificate of Mary Jane Wilson's daughter Rose who died in infancy.
It shows that she reported the birth after 36 days, close to the legal limit of 42 days but still far short of the 54 days for her son William John.
I'm interested in the possible connection between Daniel Reardon who married Margaret Reardon, address 5 Thrawl St. in 1887, and the Lilian Reardon who is living at 2 Millers Court in 1891. (Margaret is MJW's brother's niece.)
Head: Lilian Reardon (Widow) aged 37 born Westminster
Son: Charles J Reardon aged 10 born Pimlico
Daniel Reardon is also from Westminster so there might be a connection. I cannot find a Lilian Reardon in the census or the marriage index. I'm wondering if it could be one of his sisters.

The brother-in-law of MJW's brother, Henry, is Robert Gould, a tailor, and he was living in Westminster from 1871. The only other Robert Gould, tailor, is one in Chelsea so I'm guessing this is the right one.
No, it wasn't. But thanks for asking, MayBea, as I am pleased to tell you Chris Scott put this right when he found Mary Brider's marriage. See this Casebook thread (click)
Thanks, Paul, for the clarification on the real source.
Is it the Tully theory that Mary Kelly was James Kelly's sister in law, Mary Brider, from Liverpool, and he killed her for revenge on his wife, Sara Brider, and he killed the others looking for Mary?
James the Ripper Above all other suspects considered in the Ripper murders, James Kelly stands out as the most likely killer. Due to his mental instability and capacity to murder another human bein…
The book you're quoting, from a Google extract, is Jack the Ripper by Mark Whitehead and Miriam Rivett. They state that Tully's theory is that James Kelly killed his wife when she discovered his affair with Mary Kelly and that he escaped from Broadmoor to find Mary after she aborted his baby. This is actually the theory of John Morrison, which shows the level of research undertaken by Whitehead and Rivett.
