The Real Mary Kelly - Wynne Weston-Davies

[Edward Stow]

And WWD is affable - don't forget that.
RE would have done himself a favour by being more accessible at the outset - he soon became a siege mentality. But it takes two to tango. The scouse bit didn't help - that goes without saying of course.

I heard a podcast devoted to WWD's theory as published in his book which is intrinsically mixed up with Craig being the killer of Kelly - who recreated her identity to escape from him.

That sounds like an excellent synopsis for a factional book...

Not quite as racy as your imaginary disgruntled
trick, I'll admit, but at least my speculation has
some grounding in fact.

Affability goes a long way, as does articulacy. RE fell short on both counts. The sad thing is that both men came to the table with a 'theory' based on a family story, one (RE) was immediately shot down in flames because there was 'no provenance' to his account, the other (WWD) was treated like royalty. Is there any more proof that WWD's great uncle was called 'Johnto' than there is that Amos Simpson acquired a genuine Ripper artefact?

I did not "devote" an entire podcast to his suspect nor did we treat him like royalty. You both have lost your fucking marbles.

JM,

Oh, dear.

My comment was not a dig at your podcast. (I'm a great fan of your stuff.) I personally would have liked a bit more of an edge to the WWD interview, but I can understand why your guests have to be treated with respect.

I used to play with marbles as a kid. Don't know where they went to.

It's easy to get touchy if it is perceived that one's work is criticised.
To be more precise - the podcast was devoted to a book in which Craig as a new suspect was introduced. That doesn't invalidate my general observation.
In my opinion the podcast could have been a tad more probing - not a major criticism.

Is it the norm for non-Ripper-community authors to be interviewed on Rippercast just before their book is about to be released?

No. Quite the opposite. I believe Andrew Cook is the only non-Ripper community author to appear on the show coincident to a book release. How and why that came about is a whole weird story in itself.

Wynne and I exchanged PM's on Casebook, where he posted. The show scheduling was channeled through Robert Smith's office.

Hello Lynn,

Surely, Lord E. found 'em (and we kept 'em)?

Hello Gary. Thanks.

Yes, indeed--much to the chagrin of the Greek government.

Cheers.

What exactly is a ripper-community author and who decides what is one?

Im genuienly curious .........

Anyway...
There was a bakers 'McBain and Co.' on Motcomb St Belgrave Square. Perhaps Harry was connected to that establishment?

The propeitor was named John James Todd

[Debra Arif]

In 1871 John J Todd (trading as McBain & Co) is listed at 11 Motcomb St. aged 25, a master baker employing 9 men and 4 boys. His wife and mother are listed with him.

Debra,

Can you find him in '81 or '91?
