A witness who I'm currently trying to find out more about is William Court who was interviewed by Inspector Spratling following Nichols' murder. What interests me about him is that he was the night watchman for Messrs. Brown & Eagle's wool warehouse on Bucks Row which was directly opposite from where Nichols body was found.
I've been trying to do some genealogical research into who exactly this William Court was and I believe there's a good chance he is William George Court who owned the Queen's Head pub at 317 Whitechapel Road (different from Commercial Street one) from 1903 until his death in May 1909, aged 62, due to only being a few minutes from Buck's Row.
He may have also been the William George Court who was born in Knightsbridge on 10th October 184(5-9) the baptism took place in 1849 but the last number is difficult to make out.
