It is a well known fact that Victorian Murderer and Con Man, Frederick Bailey Deeming had visited my home town Kingston upon Hull. He had visited the Royal Station Hotel with his new Bride, before running off to carry out a fraudulent transaction at Reynoldson Jewellers. During my research into Deeming, I was able to trace the locations of several businesses that he had visited whilst he was here, I was also to get trade directory entries for them, maps and some recent photos. I also wrote to Hull Prison where Deeming was imprisoned in 1891 for fraud!! Here is there reply when I asked if they had any records of his stay, Dear Mr. Covell Thank you for your letter dated 13th April 2007. Unfortunately we are unable to assist you in your request as we do not keep prisoners records for more than seven years. I am sorry we cannot help. Yours sincerely A WATSON Head of Operations |
