Hi Jackie,

Thanks for posting and I must say you have interesting relations.

By the way, how do you mean "not very conclusive"? Can you elaborate?

All the best

And Jackie,

You have an intersting name for a relation of one who tried to find "Jack."

I don't suppose you know of any "family history" regarding the suspicions of your great great uncle and his partner.

Hi Jackie,
I have arrived at this page by chance. Our side of the Godley's think that George may have spent time in Sheffield (Yorkshire)and had a sucessfull career. Would you be able to clarify as there is a long period between retirement and death.
Many thanks

Bronwen Godley

Hello

Am charting the family tree and Jackie directed me to this page; there are some very interesting comments being put forward; unlike some I like the conspiracy theories! nothing like a bit of scandel to keep things foremost in the minds of the general public! as well as this is probably one of the most televised/filmed unsolved crimes that you could get, with still no new theories evolving just re-working of the old ones. Pity that forensic science wasn't about then! I wonder whether or not the result would have been interesting, but i tend to believe that it was a local person who could blend in without being noticed too much. still i've yet to research all the material, so like a typical female could change my mind! To Bronwen; i do have some information, but have to find my paperwork, (computer crashed some time ago, which meant info was lost) so will try and update shortly.

Regards

Michelle

You're going to hate me, but George Godley was born in 1857, not 1856. I just respect accuracy, that's all.

P.S. I'm a virgo(perfectionist)
