[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 1478173, member: 4144"] Yeah, I know this isn't a Jack The Ripper board, but I came across this today, and I'm pretty excited! This was posted on the boards of [url=http://www.casebook.org/]Casebook Jack the Ripper[/url], the best Ripper site I've ever seen. To sum up for those non-Ripper savvy, we found via searches of the 1881 British census all the victims, save the final one, Mary Kelly. Paul Williams, one of the members of said board, turned this up on the census. The addresses of these people were 30 Southowram Bank, York. [code] [i]Name Status Age Birthplace John Kelly M 66 Ireland Bridget Kelly M 60 Ireland Michael Kelly U 29 Ireland John Kelly U 23 Ireland James Kelly U 21 Ireland Bridget Kelly U 19 Ireland [b]Mary Kelly U 15 Ireland James Langan 3 Halifax[/b][/i] [/code] He adds that this may be [b]the[/b] Mary Kelly, since a birth certificate was found by the authors of one of the Ripper books indicating that she was born at St. Michael's, Limerick, Ireland on March 5, 1866 to John Kelly and Bridget Goulden. Sure, it's not definitively her. But it's certainly food for thought for me, given the son named James Langan (who was obviously either Mary's or her sister Bridget's). Tie that in with some people's stories that Mary Kelly had a child of about 8 (James Langan would be 10) living with her in 1888 and there you have it. Plus it's [b]very[/b] odd, IMHO, that a John Langan was arrested in France in October of 1888, and the French police made a thing of how he resembled Jack - my pet theory, which is that Mary Kelly's child was actually Jack's, is gaining steam somewhat. I was planning a trip to England and Wales someday to research things further, and now when I go there I have two solid leads to follow up on (the other is a possible in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales). Just showing off. ;) [/QUOTE]
