The Common Room / Re: Headstone for Ripper hunt officer ~ how nice, but where is the family ???

It is a shame no photos are known of Fred & Emma. I'm sure he didn't look like any of the actors who have played him over the years. My connection to Emma is through her father Henry who was a brother of my direct line ancestor James.

Thanks Maddie,
There is an H Division (Whitechapel) group police photograph that some have pinpointed a couple of different officers in the photo that COULD be Abberline based on the contemporary sketches we have. Nothing is conclusive, unfortunately. It's going to take a long lost family album I believe to stumble upon a true photograph of him. That's what I was hoping you might have had.
