Here is another source document relating to Tumblety I hadn't seen before. This relates to Tumblety's flight from the UK, first to France and thence to the USA. He sailed on the La Bretagne from Le Havre and arrived in the USA on 3 December 1888. He sailed under his oft used alias of Frank Townsend.
The record of his sailing reads as follows:-

Don't believe it...I was checking out a thread on this very subject less than an hour ago (on which Debs supplied an answer to this effect)...but nice to see the original record...great find Chris!

So interesting to see the original record. Thank you for putting it up.

Awesome Chris, as usual! You never cease to amaze me.

Interesting for me, also, is my Siegel ancestors (mother's maiden name) settled in Buffalo, NY, in the late 1800s. They came from Alscace Loraine, and traveling out of La Havre to NY would not be out of the question. It certainly would be interesting if that "M___ Siegel" named just above Tumblety was my great-great grampa! Time to research.

Sincerely,

Mike

Hello Chris,

Great find and thank you for posting! I may have missed it but departure date from Le Havre is where? Apologies if it is stated.

Best wishes

Great find. I notice Tumblety knocked at least 10 years off his real age. What a scream! Worse than any woman...
