My great grandad was in Colney Hatch lunatic asylum at the same time as David Cohen who was suspected of being Jack the Ripper.

I wonder if they became friends!!   Was 'Jack the Ripper' ever convicted?

No, they still don't know who he was although there were several strong suspects.

I had a little panic session, a while back, when I realised my gt grandfather was in London around "Ripper" time ... and that he was the son (and grandson) of a surgeon, - so familiar with the "tools of the trade" - ... and that the family were living in Poplar ...

Then, I found out that the Ripper murders were still going on after gt Grandad had arrived in Australia.  Whew!
I live in Sydney, Australia, and I'm researching: Powell, Tatham, Dunbar, Dixon, Mackwood, Kinnear, Mitchell, Morgan, Delves, & Anderson

It does put thing into perspective though doesn't it when you start thinking about what was going on around our rellies!

Sir John Franklin was Governor of Tasmania for a few years 1836 . . . - then he went back to UK and set out on his polar exploration.  Some months after he disappeared, the folks in Tassie heard the news and started raising funds to assist in the search for him.  And some of my Grandee was there helping to raise funds.   (Better late than never!)
