Elizabeth Prater

No, but it doesn't hurt to google a topic now and again, maybe?
I just linked to this one as it was one of the better discussion I thought and there's a lot of good information posted on there.

Yeah...cos there was only ever one girl named Jackson in the world...

Thanks, Debs. But you can't expect each of us to remember every thread ever created. But after reading this, I do recall having popped in on it when it was active. Seemed at that time no consensus had been reached. But it looks to me as though Prater lived in one of the back rooms facing the court, as argued by Stewart.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

P.S. Annie Jackson = Elizabeth Jackson?

Hi Simon, Tom.
Here's one of the many previous discussions on this subject:

Simon-the date of the trial should be January 1899

That's a very interesting post, Simon. It's new to me. Has it been discussed before? And why is 'Annie Jackson' ringing a bell?

Yours truly,

Hi All,

Old Bailey, January 1889—

(Police Constable 354 H) produced and proved plans of the house 26, Dorset Street, where the occurrence took place.

DAVID ROBERTS. I am by trade a painter and decorator, of 26 Dorset Street, Spitalfields—on November 26th [1888] I was living there, in the first-floor back room, with my wife, the deceased woman [Eliza Roberts], and her sister, the prisoner [Kate Marshall]—they carried on the same business of whip-making—we had all been living together in the same room for some time . . . I have lived in that room with my wife about seven months—we had been married fifteen or sixteen years—the eldest child is fifteen—we lived together twelve months before we were married . . .

CHARLES AMORY. I am a wire-worker, and on November 26th [1888] I was living at 26 Dorset Street, in the first floor front room—two women, named Mary Johnson and Annie Jackson, were also living in the same room.

The front and back first floor rooms are separated "by a passage and a spare room, which is used at nights to put lodgers with their children in . . ."

Where did Elizabeth Prater live?

Regards,

Simon
