Just been to a talk by Diane Bainbridge, the co-author of this book.
Very interesting story and I love the fact that she said - this is not case closed, I can't prove he is the Ripper but have been unable to prove he isn't - and also that this started as a "family tree" enquiry, not a game of Hunt the Ripper.
The facts themselves are quite intriguing, man lives in Grove St (off Commercial Road) for many years then at the end of 88/beginning of 89 moves to Hartlepool and changes his family name. London is never mentioned in the family, only that he came up from Dover. Fits the profiles nicely, absent father, mother died while giving birth, former family business was butcher.
Just the kind of non-descript man I think Jack was.
Of course no actual evidence, no blood stained knife or diary, but the actual facts present a more plausible suspect than most I have read about !
