anotheble photo of MJK alive

[Mary_Jane_Kelly]

hello all,

i was looking through the photo's of whitechapel, spitalfields ect when i came across this photograph taken in durward st.

now i have recently posted a picture of a Mary Davies who i thought could have been our MJK, but it turned out to not be her. but this photo is interesting. the woman with her back turned to us is tall, with a stout figure, with long hair, fitting the discriptions of MJK. now im not saying 'EUREKA!' ive found our MJK! but it does fit her description.......

anyway this is the photo, make up your own minds and tell me your opinions.

thank you x

I hate to p*ss on your chips (as they say), but you'll find that that isn't Mary Kelly.

The photograph was taken in 1928/9 by Leonard Matters.

well hello john, and thanks for that lovely phrase. those clothes dont look particulally 1920ish. and who is to say that mary even died in millers court???? she was sighted by a few people in pubs and on the street long after she had been 'murdered'.

I have and I did!

I'm not being deliberately difficult, by the way, but I cannot see how a potential photographic candidate for MJK can be suggested by an indistinct view of the back of somebody in a photograph that was taken in the 1920s, even if MJK wasn't the person found in Miller's Court 30 years earlier.

Out of interest, when would you say the photo was taken?

Hi Phil.

Oooooooh Dear!!!

John - FORTY years later, not thirty. So we have the back of MJK when we don't really know what she looked like and have no idea who the woman is taken by Leonard Matters, about a mile from where MJK almost 100% definitely died on 9 November 1888, with a gap of four decades.

Can't think of many other candidates and it sounds good to me.

Maths has never been my strong point.

Heres my impression of what the coroner in MJK's Inquest addressing the issue of Mary living on past November 9th, 1888 might say...

"You must be very careful about your evidence, because it is different to other people's".

Best regards all.

So, when do we get to play "Where's Waldo"?

That, as we know Michael was Mrs Caroline Maxwell- I know there are problems with this - but at the risk of getting into a Richard here- I cannot dismiss her evidence!

As to the 'Where's Waldo' Great idea-I've got an original of that and it often occurs to me too

Hmmmmmmmmmm
