That’s a pretty impressive back catalogue, Jon.

Hi Gary,
I’m glad to see you as I was thinking just the other day how it feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen you posting. I hope you’re having a good holiday season.
Next years big project is recording brand new roundtable discussions on all of the victims as it’s been over a decade since those were recorded. They really show their age. So new information, voices and perspectives is desperately needed. I welcome any suggestions.

Echoing Gary’s post, that’s an extensive list Jon. Thanks for putting it together. I look forward to the round table on the victims. Will you be inviting HR?

Have you been listening to the Holmes podcasts Sholmes?

Will you be inviting HR?

Has she discovered anything that wasn’t known about and discussed 12 years ago?

I haven’t yet Ozzy. I intend to catch up over Christmas.

Hi Jon,

Yes, I’ve been a bit preoccupied with other stuff recently (real life), but I’ve also been doing a bit of long overdue housekeeping on some of my Ripperish files. I say ‘ish’ because some of the subjects are barely even tangential to the case.

I started a thread on ‘Biddy the Chiver’ the other day over at How’s to record some of the new info I’ve recently acquired and to give the old girl a home of her own. There’s a bit more research to do on her which may come up with something interesting, but unless you are prepared to consider a 14-year-old ‘Jill the Ripper’, I don’t think Biddy’s really a suitable subject for your discussions. If she was a victim, it was of her violent old man, Tommy O’Rourke.

I’ve still got work to do on Alice Mackenzie, Thomas Fogarty, Polly’s ‘Mr Cowdry’ and other subjects that might be of interest, though.

Here’s wishing you and all on Casebook a happy festive season.

I’d welcome a round table discussion about Alice McKenzie - just to listen to, though, not to participate in. ;-)

The late Chris Scott had a thing about Alice. In the introduction to his ‘Will the Real Mary Kelly…?’ he commented:

‘It must be said that Mary Kelly is not the only possible victim who poses a problem with regard to documentary evidence. In July 1889, Alice McKenzie was found murdered in Castle Alley. She also has proved remarkably elusive when it comes to any provable references in the available records. Contemporary accounts of the case tell us only two things which may have led to some revelation of her background or previous history - that she was allegedly from Peterborough and was also known by the name of Bryant. Both items have thus far led nowhere.’

Then in 2008 he created a thread on Casebook entitled ‘McKenzie’s aliases’ in which he bemoaned the fact that:

‘Alice McKenzie has proved as impervious to research as Mary Kelly. The list of names used by her makes any progress difficult. These include:

Mackenzie
McKenzie
M'Kenzie
Bryant
Murrell
Kelly
Riley…’

I’m sure Chris would have been first in the queue to volunteer to join the panel on a ‘McKenzie’ discussion.

Today we know quite a bit about Alice’s origins, thanks in large part to the efforts of the Peterborough press who picked up on John McCormack’s claim that she was a native of their city and, despite persistent denials from her family there (the Pitts), established her origins in the enclosed world of the Minster Precincts. In contrast, the London press, the police and coroner Baxter were satisfied with the portrayal of her as a Spitalfields doss-house unfortunate with a taste for alcohol and tobacco who through her own lifestyle choices had put herself in harm’s way.

I find the change in tone in the Peterborough papers in the weeks following the first reports of the Castle Alley tragedy quite interesting. Initially, it seems, they followed the London lead and assumed that Alice might have been an inhabitant of Peterborough’s notorious ‘Boongate’ district. They then followed a couple of red herrings, one involving an altogether different Alice McKenzie, and a second involving a McKenzie family who had briefly resided in Peterborough. Eventually, though, they got to the truth (at least partially) and although all three of the city’s papers printed denials of any connection to Alice McKenzie by the Pitts family, they still went ahead and provided an outline of Alice Pitts’ life.

So thanks are due to the Peterborough press for their persistence, and Ripperologists also deserve a Pat on the back for filling in some of the subsequent gaps. I say ‘some’ because I think there is still quite a bit to be discovered.
