Eddowes Pawn Ticket/Finances (moved from another thread)

[Wickerman]

I take it "claimed" is the important word here.

Is there a record of him appearing anywhere barefoot?

My missus pawned the boots, and I stood outside the shop with bare feet.

day/night

Hello Jon. Thanks. Yes, that's the one. Too bad he could not recall whether it was day (Saturday) or night (Friday).

Cheers.

Hey, when you live without a watch knowing the exact time is always a chore, and if it was anywhere near midnight when his boots were pawned then whether it was late Friday night or early Saturday morning is superfluous to him.

Wasn't that ticket dated 28th? - so Friday.

Friday

Hello Jon. Thanks. I will agree with THIS--whoever owned the boots, they were DEFINITELY pawned on Friday.

Cheers.

Hello Colin. Indeed. One wonders how he managed to work the next day?

Coming back from hopping.

Hi all,
Would anybody have any thoughts on Kellys statement of them "Hoofing" it back from hopping?

Hoofing=walking
Hopping=picking hops in Kent

Hi Lynn

Finally found where I got the seed of an idea that John Kelly`s missus pre-Eddowes was called Mary Ann.

coming back

Hello Paddy. To walk that far seems common. My difficulty lies in the fact that most Londoners were coming back 2-3 weeks earlier.

John, in his "Echo" interview, seems to say as much.

Cheers.

Wonder how much is known about her?

Hi Lynn

I had a quick scan on Ancestry to see if I can see a Mary Ann Kelly dying in Whitechapel but there was nothing of note, only one in Bethnal Green in the early 1880`s.

I`ll have to get hold of that edition of Ripperana and Mark King`s findings.

Hi Jon, free BMD list Mary Ann Kelly's death in their index, but like you, I couldn't see it on Ancestry either.

Deaths Jun 1888

KELLY Mary Ann 42 Whitechapel 1c 173

Excellent. many thanks Debs!! I`ll bookmark that site, cheers :-)

In the 1881 Census there is a John and Mary Ann Kelly living at 3 Little Paternoster Row. The age is correct for John but three years difference for Mary Ann. She is a charwoman and he`s a dock labourer (although i`m sure he was working for Lander the fruiterer since 1878). Both born in Whitechapel. This is the closest I can find for the couple. What do you think?
