I think the problem is that the 1891 census was non-Silurian friendly : granted there is a box for age, but there is also a "where born" question and a Silurian would presumably need that to read "where hatched."

Come to think of it, parish of birth might present difficulties too - particularly if it was somewhere that's now on the sea bed. Maybe I should just be searching for "Occupation: Silurian"?

I haven't had any luck so far looking for the Silurian woman on the 1891 census. Unfortunately I suspect her age (c. 430 million years) may have been mistranscribed.

In my opinion, this is vital new information, for it allows us to rule out Druitt, Kosminski, Cutbush, Tumblety, Chapman, Stephenson, and quite a few other suspects.

Basically, all we've got to do is order every death certificate from Q4 1888 to Q1 1889 and see whether it gives cause of death as "eaten by Silurians."

But hang on : what if the Ripper's death wasn't registered? Also, what if several people were eaten by Silurians during that time?

What you have to wonder is..

Did Abberline read Silurian?

It could all have been so different - imagine the headlines:

WHITECHAPEL FIEND EATEN BY ALIENS

But then again, maybe Special Branch would have kept it to themselves??

Sularians

Surprised not to see any discussion of last night's revelation that Jack the Ripper was eaten by a Silurian in 1888. But did Abberline ever get the message telling him so?

I hate when the Sularians do that!
