STEPHENSON Well, it’s been a busy month of research, with efforts made to trace more information on some of the people that surrounded Robert D’Onston Stephenson during his life. Among those targeted where,
I managed to secure pictures, newspaper reports, and valuble official records on all 4, as well as many other people. Most of this material is brand new and has never been published!! DEEMING Efforts have also been made in several previously unseen newspaper accounts of Frederick Bailey Deeming and his alleged involvement in the Whitechapel Murders, all of which make interesting reading. I also traced several previously unpublished newspapers detailing Deeming’s visit and incarcaration in Hull. All of these offer a fresh new light on this mysterious man! THE ROYAL STATION HOTEL CONNECTION Over the years 4 previously named suspects have had links to Hull’s Royal Station Hotel. This week I managed to trace a very rare copy of a book about the hotel, written by the North Eastern Railway company, and offering valuble insights into the Hotel, it’s formation, and ever changing interior. I also managed to trace over 20 newspaper reports, dating from 1854 to 1900, featuring the 4 previously named suspects in conjuction with this wonderful Victorian hotel. |
