Francis Thompson and the Jack the Ripper Pattern Murder.

[Roy Corduroy]

That Thompson was in any hospital is hearsay by Wilfrid Meynell. No biographer has found any proof he was in a hospital.

Author John Walsh searched the records of the Royal Brompton Hospital, which are complete back to 1841, but he did not find Francis Thompson.

It is hard to find biographical information, outside of encyclopedia articles, on this person. I did locate this article in an online journal on the open web:

Nicely written and very vivid.

It’s an open group that has many files on Thompson and links to information on him. It has about 140 members, and some have researched quite a lot on him, and can offer their opinions and help. Here is a description of the group,

‘As well as about being about my book, this group is the first ever and only news source on Francis Thompson & Jack the Ripper. Its members, who possess a formidable combined knowledge of these subjects, provide critical opinion and the results of research. The group is also a repository for media, dissertations and argument on Thompson’s possible responsibility for the ‘Whitechapel’ murders of 1888. Join us and ask questions and tell us things.’

I'm taking your advice, and doing my own research, and may compile a bibliography on Thompson.
