One thing I would mention is that both the Peterborough tramp and Alice Pitts had hazel eyes.

Originally posted by Gary Barnett View PostAs we have seen elsewhere, in 1871 Frederick John Wildbore was living with his uncle Michael in Leicestershire. Their next door neighbours were named Pitts.
I also notice that there were Wildbores in Castor and Ailsworth, the two places mentioned as being on Charles Pitts' postal route.
I think the Wildbores ran the Dog and Gun pub in Keyham. I know Michael was listed living there in an earlier census. I believe the family ran the place for quite a while. Up until about 1881 or so. Michael Wildbore was also listed as a schoolmaster. Do we know which school in Leicester he was working?

Actually the Pitts family were a couple of residences away rather than 'next door'. The head of the household, Matthias Pitts, was a gamekeeper.
