Does anyone know Miss Alexander? Has Miss Alexander been interviewed? Where did she find this information? Why has she kept silent until now?

Hi,
If the book was published on the 1st April, it would be more apt.

Hello Richard,

Welcome to the 125th anniversary....remember what we had to wade through in 1987/88/89 etc etc ?

A pound to a penny there is more on the way.

Richard,

Words failing you is certainly a new phenomenon, but I am afraid you are absolutely right about the book. It will be interesting to see the reaction of others, especially the board's resident John "Uncle Jack" Williams expert, Jen Shelden.

Hi,
I must admit it has all the hallmarks of a great tale, and 'IF' it is not intended to be fictional, it could be one of the most discussed publications since the subject became popular in the media.

Hello Jen,

What are the odds that this author is working with a previous author, or has a connection with re the proposed Williams invovement previously written of in this story? Promotion, promotion, promotion...

A question to all the stylish ladies, (or gents) who wear lockets.

Do you have a sketch of your loved one in it, or an actual photo?

[Carrotty Nell]

If the locket pictured on the book jacket is the actual locket Miss Alexander's grandmother discovered in her mother's belongings, I want to know how our Mary Kelly obtained a copy of the newspaper sketch of herself which was not drawn until after her death.

Hi,
Logic says,that it is highly unlikely that a great great grand-daughter of Mary Kelly should come forth to publish a book [at that RRP] if there was substance in it.
If it is a work of fiction fair play
If it is intended to pretend otherwise..foul play
I guess we however. will have to judge the book on its release, who knows we may have to eat humble pie..I for one, would love it to be genuine.

When the book is released we will need a volunteer (or two or three) to work on a review!

Thanks,

Hello Nell ,

I think the drawn newspaper sketch of Kelly in the locket is just being used for promotion purposes for the book cover .. I think the proposed original just has John Williams in it ..

Mary found a small wooden box containing Mary Kelly's locket. The locket contained a picture of a man; a man she had always thought was her great grandfather. Now she realizes that the photo contained in the locket is that of Sir John Williams.

look forward to having a quick boo
