Darren, The casebook.org website you give is very interesting, with some grusome pictures of the Rippers victims, and an insight into the living conditions of Victorian London. Well worth a browse. I hope you can link up the White or Tabram line with your own family tree. It will make an infamous link to your tree. Regards, Kathy

http://www.casebook.org/victims/tabram.html There is a copy of the victims death certificate for Martha Tabram(formerly White) at the address above, but it doesn't give away any family clues.

Hi Darren, Was it Martha or Henry who was Jack the Ripper's victim? Whichever one it was, it would be interesting to find their Death Certificate, don't you think?? Or even a newspaper report at that time. First you'll need to link him to your tree though. Kathy

Kathy, this could be interesting..."Henry Samual Tabram, christened 20th March 1836 at St Marys Whitechapel, Stepney " This hasn't yet been linked to my tree but Henry as mentioned above sounds like the gut who married Martha white, possibly the first victim of jack the ripper. I know this has been mention in my family but never proved. On Christmas Day, 1869, Martha White married Henry Samuel Tabram at Trinity Church in St. Mary's Parish, Newington. He was a foreman furniture packer. A short, well dressed man with iron gray hair, mustache and imperial. They had already been living together in Pleasant Place and moved to 20 Marshall Street in February 1871. The new house was very near by the house in which Martha was born. Martha had two sons by the marriage, Frederick John, born in February 1871 and Charles Henry, born in December of 1872. If anyone knows about this family, that wold be even more interesting.

On www.familysearch.org under the IGI I have found a Henry Samual Tabram, christened 20th March 1836 at St Marys Whitechapel, Stepney. His father was John Tabram and mother Hannah. Do you think this is him? Have a look for yourself. Kathy

If you click on Resource Centre on the green panel on the left of the page, then click on Useful Links, you can then click on Familysearch and FreeBMD websites. I tried the Familysearch site (1881 census) but there was only an Alfred John Tabraham born 1868 in Liverpool and all his family were born in Norfolk, Kings Lynn and still living there. Regards, Kathy

The infomation I need is addresses if possible, brothers and sisters and the father of Henry Tabram c1812 Can you give me the address please of FreeBMD.

Hi Darren What info do you require? Have you tried looking on FreeBMD or on the Family History site at the 1881 census? regards Jeannie
