Im from Netherton, Dudley in the Black country and have a friend who's last name is Eddowes! He didn't even know that he may be related to one of JTR's victims he's going to check his family history to see if anything crops up but its great to know that i may have a personal connection to the murders so long down the line of history!

The fact is, if your name is Eddowes your only chance of being related to Catherine is as a very distant cousin. Catherine's children were all called Conway, and it appears that only her sisters had any children and they would be called Jones, Gold, Fisher, and Good.
