New Articles on RDS and Frederick Deeming.

Deeming, Hull Press, Press Reports, Research, Stephenson Family 2 Comments »

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the Hull History Centre and found some interesting articles.

February 1988 saw a number of articles that were published, in the Hull Daily Mail, looking at the life of Stephenson. These mention that Melvin Harris claims Stephenson is JTR. The first claims that Stephenson was a doctor, drunk, drug addict, black magician.

The second article in the Hull Daily Mail, using the name Roslyn D’Onson, claims that Stephenson became ill after the murders and booked himself in the London Hospital. It also claims that Stephenson killed 7 prostitutes.

On March 15th 1988 Andy Aliffe, wrote a letter to Hull’s Libraries and Archives asking for help on Stephenson. I have a copy of this letter in my files.

March features an article, in the Hull Daily Mail, that claims Stephenson resided at 5 Regent Terrace and later Norwood Terrace, that he was a customs officer, and that he was involved in smuggling with Thomas Piles. It then goes on to state that Piles shot him and Stephenson fled Hull, appearing in London to form the Pomp.

As you can imagine these addresses are erroneous, they were the home of another Robert Stephenson residing in Hull. The article finishes with an appeal from Melvin Harris, leaving his address at the foot of the page.

July features a report in the Hull Daily Mail, that I have posted here previously, about Ripper Tours in Hull.

August features a report in the Hull Daily Mail, that I have posted here previously, that once again looks at the Ripper tourism boom.

A short while later Peter Ainscough, the County Librarian writes a reply that claims that the only Robert Stephenson they can find is residing in Norwood Terrace in the City. He is a Outdoor Officer with the HMC. They also quote from the Eastern Morning News article. Although the letter is undated, the reply quotes the July and August reports. I have a copy of this letter in my files.

All is quiet until November 1989 when Stephenson appears in the Hull Daily Mail again. This time a small photo of him appears on the front cover! This article looks at the FBI profile against what they claim they know about Stephenson. It is full of “facts” such as Stephenson was a trained surgeon” and “Stephenson fought battles” and “Stephenson lived in Whitechapel,”

1994 saw the Hull Daily Mail publish a short overview of The True Face of JTR. Again the article featured a few facts.

The 1930’s Hull Times saw an article on Frederick Bailey Deeming. This include, an overview of Deeming’s time in Hull, Beverley and Hull Gaol. The article also carried some of the memories of Detective Thomas Grasby, as well as a picture of the man in later life. The memories include his trip to Monte Video to arrest Deeming. His memories of Charles Pearce in Hull, his memories of the Caughy-street Murder, where Councillor Richard Stephenson was very vocal of the Hull Police, and his memories of the Preston Murder of Mary Jane Langley.

The Hull Times in 1941 features a special titled “Swindler, Bigamist, and Murderer” about Deeming. The article, which covered the full page features details of Deeming’s time in Hull and Beverley. The interesting thing about this article is that several players from the period give us a little more information that wasn’t featured in the press of the period. They include the names of ships, dates, shipping lines, and names.

The following week the same publication featured a follow up article entitled, “How Coincidences Caught Callous Murderer” this time covering Deeming’s life in Rainhill and Australia. Henry Webster, former governor of Hull Prison is mentioned.

Searching for the Stephenson family grave.

Archives, Research, Stephenson Family No Comments »

Four years of research had led up to this moment, hours of searching microfilms, microfiche, parish registers, grave transcriptions, and burial maps, but then it was found.  The grave holds the bodied of

William Stephenson, who was Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s grandfather,

Annie Lambert, who was William Stephenson’s sister,

Richard Stephenson, who was Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s father,

Isabella Stephenson, who was Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s mother,

Mary Ann Gladstone, who was Richard Stephensonson’s sister, therefore Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s aunt.

With the names, maps and plans, plus Grave and Compartment numbers in hand we searched for the elusive grave, but alas, it was not to be found, instead we were told that Hull City Council had “cleared” the cemetery, and removed several grave stones.

A sad state of affairs, but here are some photo’s of the trip.

More Stephenson and Family Finds.

Archives, Research, Stephenson Family No Comments »

Yesterday I managed to get back to the Hull History Centre and made some fantastic finds. I searched the Parish Registers of Holy Trinity Church and located;

  • William Stephenson’s birth entry with his father’s name listed (This would be Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s Great Grandfather).
  • William Stephenson’s christening entry.
  • William Stephenson’s death entry.
  • Mary Ann Stephenson’s birth entry with William Stephenson and his wife’s name listed. Mary Ann is Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s aunt, and Richard Stephenson’s sister. This find gave me confirmation of the names of Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s grandparents on his fathers side.
  • Mary Ann Stephenson’s christening entry.
  • Mary Ann Stephenson’s marriage entry with Richard Stephenson and Mary Ann Dawber as witnesses.
  • Mary Ann Stephenson in the Census.
  • Ann Lambert’s death entry.
  • Ann Lambert in the Census.

The Stephenson Family Grave

Hull Press, Libraries, National Press, Press Reports, Research, Stephenson Family 3 Comments »

For three years I have searched both documentation and with maps and plans of the Hull Cemeteries to try and locate Richard and Isabella Stephenson. I poured over the East Yorkshire Family History Societies grave transcription books, parish records at East Riding Archives, and through the family history records at Hull’s Carnegie Heritage Centre, Hull’s History Centre, and through the mass of documentation in the Local Studies and Archives. Finally, after three years, I found a card entry in Hull’s History Centre that featured the death of Isabella Stephenson in the second quarter of 1891. The card had the basics of her death, the quarter it was recorded, the date etc, but nothing of real importance, at least so I thought. That was until I noticed that on the rear of some of the cards, the transcriptions of grave stones had been added! I once again found Isabella Stephenson’s card and turned it over, to reveal the following information.

In Memory of William Stephenson who died Jan 31st 1858 aged 84 years and of
Mary Ann, wife of the Rev. George Gladstone, who died Oct 4th 1867 aged 59 years,
Also of Ann Lambert, who died August 8th 1872 aged 82 years,
Also of Richard Stephenson, who died January 4th 1889, aged 83 years,
Also of Isabella, wife of the above Richard Stephenson, who died April 19th 1891, aged 81 years.

Finally I had located the transcription, but just who was William, Mary Ann and Ann Lambert and why where they buried with the bodies of Richard and Isabella Stephenson? Here is the story of the Stephenson family grave.

In 1806 Richard Stephenson was born, and later Christened on September 12th at Hull’s Holy Trinity Church, a location that boasts the beautifully carved coralloid marble font which is still used to this day. The font is said to date from around 1380 and notable MP William Wilberforce was baptized here. The parish records state that Richard was born on July 28th 1806 to William and Ann Stephenson. [1] From this it appears that William Stephenson is Richard Stephenson’s father, and therefore Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s grandfather.
By May 1831 Richard Stephenson had met and married Isabella Dawber at St Mary’s Church, in the parish of Sculcoates. The marriage was witnessed by Robert Dawber and an M.A. Stephenson. The fact that M. A Stephenson was present at the wedding as a witness has caused problems for myself for sometime. Why wasn’t William a witness at the wedding, and who was M. A. Stephenson?
The subsequent newspaper report of the marriage failed to mention any witnesses [3] and the trial seemed to be going cold.
Searches for an M.A. Stephenson failed to throw any light on the mystery, but with the discovery of the grave transcription efforts were moved from the Stephenson’s onto the name of Gladstone. It was with this surname and the name of George that the marriage entry was found on Yorkshire BMD for George Gladstone marrying Mary Ann Stephenson in 1843 at Holy Trinity Church in Hull.[4] With this new found data I searched the newspapers again, and found the following on April 28th 1843,

Marriages

At the Holy Trinity Church, Mr. George Gladstone, corn merchant, Sleaford to Mary Anne, only daughter of William Stephenson of this place. [5]

M.A. Stephenson was not a man, as I had initially thought, but Mary Ann Stephenson, the only daughter of William Stephenson, and sister to Richard Stephenson, thus making her Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s auntie!
On January 31st 1858 William Stephenson passed away at his property on Norfolk-street aged 84. [6] The news was quickly covered in the press, both locally, [7] and nationally [8].
In 1867 more bad news would hit the family, when Mary Ann passed away, a newspaper entry read,

Deaths

October 4, at Leiston, Suffolk, Mary Ann, wife of the Rev. G. Gladstone, and only daughter of the late Mr. Wm, Stephenson, of this town. [9]

Again we see Mary Ann linked to William Stephenson of Hull and listed as his only daughter.
With the mystery of Mary Ann, and William solved, it was time to turn my attention to Ann Lambert, who had passed away in 1872. Sadly, no newspaper entry for Lambert could be found, and no register of her death has yet to be traced, but it will be found. The only clue that can be found at present, is that Ann Lambert was a friend, possibly even a relative of the family, as she was seen as a visitor in the 1861 census. [10]
And so, as a busy week of research ends, another begins, there are still as many unanswered questions as there are answers, and there is still a grave to be found and photographed somewhere in a damp overgrown Hull Cemetery.

Source list- From Hell, From Hull?

One of the questions that does crop up quiet a lot when I meet or discuss Ripperology with true crime students and fellow Ripperologists is what sources do I use?  Well, here is a list of some of the sources that will be making it into Jack the Ripper, From Hell, From Hull?

A couple of Ripper related titles.

Books, Stephenson Family No Comments »

This month I had the pleasure of obtaining a few titles that cover certain aspects of the ripper case, and mention several suspects, victims etc.

Among the titles are,

The Cheeky Guide to Brighton, David Bramwell and Tim Bick,
Small section on Robert D’Onston Stephenson and Cricketers, and some info on Aleister Crowley. RRP £9.95

The Cases That Haunt Us, John Douglas and Mark Olshaker,
Chapter on Jack the Ripper, including victims, events, and suspects. Some sloppy mistakes but overall enjoyable reading. RRP £6.99

Profiling Violent Crimes, Ronald M. Holmes and Stephen T. Holmes,
Chapter on Jack the Ripper, victims listed, neat easy to read tables but some basic errors. Dr. Roslyn Donston was a surgeon in a London Hospital two blocks from the murder of Nichols apparently.

Serial Killer Investigations, Colin Wilson,
In a chapter entitled Sex Crime-The Beginings, Wilson tackles Jack the Ripper in a few short pages, but makes some sloppy errors. He claims to have taken much of his work on this chapter from Profiling Violent Crimes by Ronald M. Holmes and Stephen T. Holmes, but instead of making the assumption that Stephenson worked in Whitechapel, he comes up with a new one and claims that Stephenson lived in Whitechapel! RRP £7.99

This weeks News…

Archives, Libraries, Research, Stephenson Family No Comments »

Despite having a busy week with meetings and appointments I still managed to get a couple of hours research in at the Hull History Centre.

This week my attention was turned to George Marsh, the man who suspected Robert D’Onston Stephenson of being Jack the Ripper.  Pouring over the census I did find several possible candidates that could well have been the man, and one of these had a long history in the Iron Trade.  George Marsh, at the time of his statement was an out of work Ironmongery salesman.  Despite these finds, work is still ongoing, until I can find definitive proof that this is indeed the George Marsh I am looking for.

Work was also carried out on the Richardson family, this was Robert D’Onston Stephenson’s cousin and her husband.  His cousin and her daughter had accompanied Stephenson on his trip to Flamborough which resulted in him being shot in the leg!

Work was also carried out on Kelburne King, the surgeon who treated Stephenson on more than one occasion. 

Recent Findings

I searched the Death Registers and found Isabella Stephenson’s box number, showing where and when she was buried and with whom.

I also managed to transcribe three years of the Hull Watch Committee’s Minutes, showing Richard Stephenson Junior present at the committee and sub-committee meetings.

I also managed to transcribe three years of the Hull Corporation Minutes showing Richard Stephenson Senior receiving his quarterly wage and bonuses for his role as a Water Bailiff.

These records also showed the political career of Richard Stephenson Junior.

I also searched the British Medical Registers for the years 1859, 1863, 1867, 1871, 1875, 1879, 1883, 1887, 1891, 1895, 1899, 1903, 1907, 1911 in search of Robert D’Onston Stephenson and his aliases!
