I have been doing some background research on Isenschmid - this shows he was a Swiss born in Berne circa 1843 so at the time of the murders would have been circa 45 years of age. I have condensed the results to date into the family tree below.
More to follow

In 1871 census George and Blanch G Hatton are registered living at 2 Cross Street, Shoreditch, and therefore Isenschmid's wife was Mary Ann Joyce.
St. Luke covered the following areas:

George Chipper at that time was a gents' hairdresser aged 32 and the couple had a young sone named Stanley George aged "under 2 months" at the time of the census.

I have traced Isenschmid's daughter Kate (Katherine Annie) in 1891. By that time she had moved away from London and was living in service as a domestic at "River Dale," High Street, bridge, Kent. The head of household was one William Perry, aged 35, who is listed as a grocer and Sub-Postmaster.
Katherine's details are given as:
Kate Isenschmid aged 19, single, born London City - Domestic Servant.
Kate did not marry until September 1901 in Cirencester.
