The Robert D’Onston Stephenson Story

Stephenson’s Birth Certificate.

http://www.jtrforums.com/showthread.php?p=42685#post42685

 In the “True Face of Jack The Ripper” by Melvin Harris, Mr. Harris states that Stephenson was baptized, Robert D’Onston Stephenson.

  This birth certificate does NOT show Stephenson’s middle name appearing that way.
