Eddowes Pawn Ticket/Finances (moved from another thread)

[curious]

So you had not also noticed that Mary Kelly of Millers Court had also married a man named Davis, then the next Whitechapel murder, one Rose Mylett had also been known as Lizzie Davis.

And so it goes... coincidences abound throughout this case.

Thanks, Jon,
I see I shall have to prowl through the case looking for such things. (If I ever get the time.)

My little brain finds such things interesting/amusing. . .

Hi again,

On this issue of possible victim linkage, exhibited by Kates use of her last 2 known aliases which in effect provide Mary Jane Kellys known name and address, the subsequent victim of an assumed single killer,..

Does anyone think that the police checked on that pawn ticket name and address? Or the Fashion Street one? Is it feasible that someone checking that pawn name and address.. while making inquiries thereabouts regarding a Jane Kelly on Dorset Street, since Kate is'nt ID'd right away, might discover that a Mary Jane Kelly did in fact live up the street a bit? Mary lived in the area, was seen out and about on the streets, she had friends who had friends...hell, even Carrie Maxwell seems to know about her......point being, could that pawn ticket have led the police to a Mary Jane Kelly on Dorset Street as a result of general inquiries on the matter?

My supposition is yes. Not beyond the realm of probabilities at all.

Therefore, it can be said with at least some hope for accuracy that the alias Kate used on the Friday night could have led someone to the woman we know as Mary Jane Kelly.

Is that perspective clarifying my concerns about this Mary Jane Kelly of _26 Dorset Street mere coincidence?

All the best

Hi Michael,
According to some press reports-people at the White's Row, Dorset Street and fashion Street addresses were questioned and the police apparently came away with the impression that no one at those addresses or immediate neighbourhood went by the name Jane Kelly.

#6

Hello Mike.

"if she didn't use the #6 twice"

Correct. But did not Kate's sister live at a #6? Could that be the source?

Cheers.

Hi Michael,
According to some press reports-people at the White's Row, Dorset Street and fashion Street addresses were questioned and the police apparently came away with the impression that no one at those addresses or immediate neighbourhood went by the name Jane Kelly.

But would we have heard Debra if during the course of their questioning someone mentioned that a Mary Jane Kelly lived up the street?

Thats more to my point....can we say that is unlikely?

All the best Debra
