Where is Martha Tabram buried

[Hands of the Ripper]

Does anyone have any idea? I can locate the other 5 girls but am having trouble with this one

[Mike Covell]

Hi HOTR,

I believe she was buried in a common grave, which over the years has been used, with other bodies lyiing on top!!

The location I believe has been lost but some of the guys on the boards from London might be able to point you in the right direction.

[Matfelon]

I think it's so far unknown where and when she was buried.

[George Hutchinson]

Yep - it's a Holy Grail. At present, we have no idea.

Look for a grave-plot with 39 widely-spaced dandelions growing out of it


(I apologise for my bad taste.)

Forgiven. It's probably true, bless her heart. Sad, isn't it?

Oooh Sam,

That's the lightest sense of dark humour i've come accross....Yep theres a lot worse.


But back on the subject, where Tabram was killed in whitechapel is there a graveyard plot that would cover her area, or is it a case of whether she was catholic or not, perhaps also the kind of money forthcoming for either private or left to the pauper type grave. It probable to assume she rested in a pauper's grave? No? Yes?

Shelley, there's no hard and fast rule. The most likely place is the City of London Cemetery but there's no evidence for this.

Thanks Philip, i wonder where any records could possibly found for her burial plot?

Grave

Thanks Philip, i wonder where any records could possibly found for her burial plot?

Was there a section that is the equivelant to a Potter's field? I would imagine there would be no marker with a common grave but were the indigent poor buried in one section of a cemetery in those days?
