The Grave of Jack the Ripper 

@Real Aiglon Well then you can just be thrown in a ditch when you die since you won't care.

They need to be shipped to USA. England has not respect for the dead.

@Real Aiglon There's war dead buried there who fought for their country. Some of us familys do mind.

@@realaiglon6382 agreed. Dig up cemeteries and repurpose the land. We need the space!

What about Roman graves? If we kept every graveyard pristine, city would just be a huge graveyard. This graveyard will probably be gone in 50+ years.

Really?

@@00Kuja00 Sure 😏

@@EldergodUK Use your power of reason. Don't let the superstition carry you away.

@@357lockdown I've seen to many unexplained things to not believe in the otherside 😏

@@EldergodUK It’s all in your imagination my friend

Restoring them would be a great project for the under-employed!

True and sad

i live in belgium, my fathers parent died early and mid 90's. their graves were gone by 2000-2005.

Yessssss!

That would be interesting!

Then someone's house would become a little tourist attraction. I doubt the family that live there would be happy.

I like that you used the words, “ parlor games”. It’s perfect. Past theories have indeed been guess work. I can’t remember the name of the suspect who was in France during the murders. The person who was arguing that he was JTR claimed he took a fast train into London, killed the women and jumped back on the train for each murder. SMH! It’s folks like this who will say anything to cling to their suspect!

@@TiaMargarita I’m really not sure on that. Wish I knew more.

There used to be a chain of department stores in Boston called Lechmere's, which everyone pronounced LEECH-mere's. It's out of business now but I think there was a connection to the name of the station. Just search for "Lechmere" and "Boston" on RU-vid, you will see some old TV ads from the 1980s.

@@colemannee9898 I remember it well. Went there many times in the 80’s lol.

@@colemannee9898 interesting

We all are.

😞

That’s how you die twice

markers , bridgette

And you believe there is evidence against Barnett?

Unfortunately not just their markers. 😞

@@thehouseoflechmere9407 LFC is an invented account. I checked the RU-vid profile card and I’m going to have some fun! 😂 I’ll start by referring to them as mlw. matthew lawton wannabee.

Welcome aboard!

Like this cemetery

Keep watching!

Thank you

There is some key factoid on every certificate

That comes as no surprise.

Oh my goodness, I was 12 too in 1977 and the royal theory was popular and I was hooked! I must have fell for a dozen suspects that I was “just knew” had to be JTR. I finally started looking at it from the POV of who could be discounted. When Edward presented his evidence, I could not and still have not been able to discount him. Hell yeah, it’s Lechmere”

True

Times change. People stop caring after a while. The family’s of the loved ones pass on to. Hence no one left to look after gravestones. Sad indeed.

@@section5760 I thought that was the job of the people running the cemetary.....................

@@stonerman3480 they pass on to.

@@section5760 Then they should all be fired. THat's THEIR job!!!

@@stonerman3480 you go and do it then since you’re so concerned.

HH Holmes was not in England at the time of the murders. It is said that he was in England but not London on another matter. I don’t know that for sure.

Yeh that’s a good point

Still there

The how’s of the cat meat business would be extremely interesting.

@@TiaMargarita I cant imagine that Ed can penetrate into the business , you never know though , he is a highly talented man ! He also lives in the vicinity and I think he's married to a Lechmere .

What was his shop doing ?

why are their no lechmereists appearing on this site , like fisherman .

@@gppgpz I’m curious about Victorian cat meat business and you turn it into a comment about the author. Rather strange. I also find it odd that you know where he lives and that he is married. You are not a stalker are you?

Maybe you're Jack.. same crow, same killer.

@@dahlizz99 I am Jack

@@andrewholland7712 I knew it. I've got you now buddy boy.

@@dahlizz99 I confess. I’m Jill the Ripper.

@@dahlizz99 lol your a funny guy 😂✌🍺

Love your hamster!!!

I would very much like to see Christer Holmgren as a guest. Perhaps having a pint with you at the Ten Bells?

I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT TOO.

@@mathewlawton8944 Well Jones or Priestley wasn't asked...so tough, get over it.

@@mathewlawton8944 Don't they tell the story of Mr Cross finding an old tarpaulin even though they know it is Bullshit?

@@mathewlawton8944 Lechmere didn't ever use the name Cross apart at the murder scene of Polly. Thomas Cross the ex policeman who had been dead for 20 years at the time of the murder put Cross down on the census form because Lechmere was to young to fill the form out himself so had no choice what name went down. Lechmere or he's siblings wasn't even adopted as a Cross. They were all Lechmeres.

I’d even end the movie with the crow hopping across the grave.

@@plumbingandrains Yes. A crow on the grave.

@@TiaMargarita HOW ABOUT A FULL ON JTR MUSICAL FILM ??????????

@@jamesjackson-df1hi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would hope for a more reputable company than Netflix!

Sir William Gull

He stopped around 1901 and opened a shop

@@thehouseoflechmere9407 great, thanks a lot!

@@thehouseoflechmere9407 He was only an "assistant" in his own shop?

@@crose7412 He was not an assistant.... he was the owner of the shop he opened.

@@crose7412 Before he died he closed his shop and took on another job - probably less demanding.

Such as?

@@redrum4100 Lechmere was never Cross. There are 114 documents that prove that. He was born as Lechmere and died as Lechmere. He was married as Lechmere. He raised his kids as Lechmere. He rented his home as Lechmere. He recorded himself and his family as Lechmere. The only two recorded times that he used the alias of Cross was when he was suspected of running over the boy on purpose and when he “found” the body. Lechmere was never Cross

@@TiaMargarita Look through his census history and you will see the name Cross.

@@redrum4100The census records him registering as Lechmere. He also records his wife and children as Lechmere. Perhaps you are thinking of the earlier census when he was a child? His stepfather wrote Charles down as Cross. He did so with his other children as well. He may or may not have known that Charles mother was a bigamist and felt compelled to use his own name for propriety’s sake. He recorded her as Cross as well though she was still bound in marriage to Charles father. As a result, we know now that her legal name remained Lechmere. She was never legally a Cross. If Cross was aware of this bigamist situation, it would have been crucial in Victorian London to maintain respectability in the community. Referring to the Lechmere children as Cross was Apropos though not legal. Cross never adopted Lechmere and he never legally changed his name to Cross. Lechmere was never Cross. These are verifiable facts. 114 documents attest that other than the referenced instances when he utilized the alias of Cross, he lived his life as Lechmere. Am I correct in assuming that you are a committed Crossist, within the Crossist community? Then we will respectfully disagree on whether to regard Lechmere as a valid suspect. There are over three hundred other suspects that have less credibility as valid suspects. Have you ever fought for any of them to be dropped as valid suspects? If no, why not? Why defend Lechmere? It was a police assumption that a local born and raised white man was not a likely suspect. The majority of their focus assumed that JTR would be foreign born, a Jew or mentally ill. As a result, they concentrated on these local men as suspects and rarely investigated local white men.

@@TiaMargarita I agree that he is a valid suspect - easily the best of all the nonsense candidates to date. I do not agree that he was the Ripper. I'm happy for someone to prove to me Chas was the ripper, then I can get off the merry-go-round.

Wasn't him

BTK or maybe the Golden State Killer, I don’t remember for sure but his daughter said that she preferred to remember that he was always a loving father even though she understood that he was a serial killer. Most serial killers have families, jobs and positive ties to the community.

@@dahlizz99 Why don’t you think that Lechmere was JTR?

There was an outcry I believe and they stopped.

The Pinchin Street location particularly interests me. I’m hoping Ed will revisit it again.

I suspect that Lechmere left a torso at Scotland Yard to make another (twisted) point, this time about the police.

@@philipskalla4312 Where would ANY of the Torso murderer suspects. dismembered the bodies? Lechmere or whoever. We’ll never know.

@@philipskalla4312 Lechmere's mother's (future?) cat meat business was very close by. It may have been in operation then.

Lechmere was still living in that house when the torso was found.

Tower Hamlets Cemetery

The mental illness was caused by Syphilis.. There weren't any condoms back then.

Mary Ann Marshall was living in Mary Ann Street at the time of Emily’s death. It was she who registered the death using the name Lechmere, which dispels the idea that Charles wasn’t known by that name when his stepfather was alive. Perhaps Cross was used on a day to day basis, but when it came to dealings with the authorities the name Lechmere was used. Except on two occasions …

The known facts are very few. I’m aware of the two known occasions where he used the name Cross when communicating with the authorities. I discovered the first of those, the incident involving the death of the child in Islington in 1876 several years ago.

Incidentally, there is no conclusive proof that the Charles Cross who ran over the child was the same man as the 1888 ‘witness’.

Excellent pick up!

In the Lechmere case it would have been a deep hole, one person wide, and each would have a coffin of sone sort on tip of each other and buried over perhaps a week.

You volunteering?

If he was a butcher, that doesn't mean he chopped up women. How many butchers do you think lived in and around Whitechapel in 1888?

It's too complex I'm afraid

can you send me a map then many thanks
