Ripper Expert, Karen Trenouth

I met the author, Karen Trenouth, through a InterNet website by pure inadvertance and, her articles, or blogs, which were condensed extracts of her two books, waked my curiosity.  After a few animated and interesting conversations, my enthousiasm grew hungry for her two books.  I must assure you that I am not the kind of man to believe all things on the spot, I am not naïve!  I just was convinced to read them because of the way she was pointing to certain aspects of the Ripper's case.  And, speaking like a gentleman, I must say it is always hard to refuse favoring a lady that allies good sense and charm.
 
I read quite a couple dozens of books on that interesting case that happened on the end of the 19th century decors of Whitechapel, London and about that peculiar and elusive criminal who became to be known as Jack the Ripper or Ray-Jack, by allusion at the precision and speed in which he made his cuts on victims.  He was also said to have the know-how of a surgeon, showing there perhaps some medical knowledge.
 
I had at that moment my own made opinion on the true identity of the original killer but, on first survey of "Epiphany", I Have been projected into a fantastic chase for liable clues, I had a very educative glance at early police methods of inquiries, visioned a well preserved collection of photos of crime scenes enriched with schematics and intricate pointers.  In brief, I was totally plunged in a very detailed manner and in a totally renewed aspect of the murderer's troubled psyche.
 
"Epiphany of the Whitechapel Murders" is not only interesting and informative, that would be much too modest; it is an intended travel through time, in a very agitated period of the 19th century England where Capitalism was freshly born and fortunes were won and lost often in a very chaotic way.  Karen really lived these events by going through all possible means to get her basic material and even visited all places where the actors of the drama had their names cited.  For such a young lady, it is a champion performance to have succeeded in finding all the necessary documents.
 
I personally deeply recommend both her books.  The first traces all the scenery and relive the lives of the participants.  The second, "Jack the Ripper, the Satanic Team", brings light on a new mystical aspect of new found truths.  Even if you opinion differs from her own, Karen's researchs were meticulously done and, all the clues and evidences brought to your attention are genuine and even supported by the autorities that were concerned.

Abberline had mentioned in his diary that he had received a letter in January 1889 from a Miss Nora O'Brien of Roofer Castle, Limerick. In the letter, Miss O'Brien explains that Mary Jane Kelly was in actuality her neice, Mary Jane O'Brien. She told Abberline that Mary Jane had been writing to her from London, England in the name of Mary Jane Kelly. Kelly was the surname of a family friend. I, much like Melvyn Fairclough, could not locate a Roofer Castle in Limerick, Ireland, or anywhere else in Ireland, for that matter. I did however, find in the 1881 Census, a most interesting O'Brien family living in London, Middlesex, England. In the household were the following:

 

Louisa O'Brien            Baroness Inchiquin

Lucius M. O'Brien        Barrister

Nora L.J. O'Brien        Peers Daughter

Louisa B. O'Brien        Peers Daughter

Alice A. O'Brien           Peers Daughter

William T. O'Brien       Student

Louisa A.M. O'Brien    Peers Daughter

 

This family resided in Dromoland Castle in County Clare until at least 1887, so they were staying in London during the Census at 103 Queen's Gate. Queen's Gate is situated in an affluent district of Westminster in the West End of London and is close to Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, and Kensington Palace. Most of London's most opulent hotels can be found in Queen's Gate. The temporary or vacation home at 103 Queen's Gate may have been one of these opulent hotels, which, in the 1800's, served as a Royal home for the Baron and Baroness of Inchiquin. Louisa O'Brien, the Baroness of Inchiquin, was married to Sir Lucius O'Brien, of County Clare, Ireland. He was the fifth Baronet, and thirteenth Baron of Inchiquin. Sir Lucius was from the 5th pedigree of the O'Brien clan, which owned the titles of the Barons and Earls of Inchiquin, and the family seat would have been Dromoland Castle. The Miss Nora O'Brien who wrote the letter to Abberline may have been Mary's great-aunt Louisa O'Brien, Baroness, who used her daughter's name to sign the letter. Or, alternatively, it may have been Nora herself her wrote the letter. Sir Lucius and Mary's grandfather, William Smith O'Brien, were brothers.

In Inspector Abberline's diary, he wrote that Mary had changed her name to Claston sometime after leaving England for Canada. This is also entirely correct. In the 1911 Census, I found Mary living in Kingston, Ontario, Canada; she was listed as a widow and had changed her name to Edith Claxton, not Claston. Also living in the same household was her daughter, Winnifred Claxton, born in April 1889. This means that Mary Jane "Kelly" (nee O'Brien) was 3 or 4 months pregnant in November 1888. As you may remember, the witness Caroline Maxwell stated at Mary's inquest that she had seen Mary in the early morning hours between 8 am and 9 am just outside of Miller's Court, and Caroline further added that Mary had just thrown up in the street, which is a symptom of early stage pregnancy. Pregnant women are very often physically ill and nauseated first thing in the morning during the first 3 months of pregnancy. I find it touching that Mary Jane named her baby daughter after her murdered friend, Winifred May Davies.

 

Here is the household information:

 

Inspector Abberline stated in his diary that Mary Jane Kelly (nee O'Brien) had a son named Michael, who was approximately 8 or 9 years old in 1888 (according to Mary's boyfriend, Joseph Barnett). This is indeed correct. Michael Andrew Kelly was born on September 29, 1879 in Dublin, Ireland.

 

After Mary's friend, Winifred May Davies, was brutally slain in Miller's Court, Mary was sent to Canada by Abberline and Walter Sickert. Abberline then stated that Michael was sent to Canada shortly after that. He was sent to Canada by Dr. Barnardo's Home Children Program. Michael Kelly, aged 11 was sent to Canada in 1890 aboard the SS Sardinian. The ship left Liverpool on May 22, 1890 and arrived in Quebec on June 1, 1890. The ship sailed via Londonderry, Ireland on May 23, 1890 and Mrs. Lacy was the head of the party of 41 headed for various destinations. Mrs. Lacy and Miss Malone, matron, were mentioned at the side of the page, but not on the passenger list and not included on the list at the Library and Archives Canada. I believe that Michael was staying with his family in Ireland immediately after the Ripper murders. Mary had family in Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary.

 

Michael's ship info:

 

 

I then found Michael O'Brien in the 1901 Canadian Census living in Ottawa City, Ontario and listed in the household were the following:

 

Peter McCarthy        Head

Johanna McCarthy   Sister

Margarat O'Brien     Niece

Michael O'Brien        Nephew

Alice O'Brien             Niece

Albert Gagnon          Boarder

 

Here is the link to this family:     

 

 

I found this home interesting because after the death of "Mary Jane Kelly", the newspapers had reported that Mary Jane was either a McCarthy or was related to a McCarthy. Peter McCarthy was Michael's uncle.

 

Then, in the 1911 Canadian Census, I found Michael O'Brien living in Vancouver City, Vancouver, British Columbia. It was a very large lodging house and there were too many lodgers to record it here. Abberline stated in his diary that Michael had worked at a publishing company in Vancouver.

The continuation of this interesting saga will now shift to Winifred May Jones's husband, John Edward, a collier who died in a mining explosion in Abram Wigan, Lancashire.

 

December 19, 1881   Abram Wigan, Lancashire

 

48 lives lost, in an explosion in the Yard Mine. Abram Collieries closed in 1933; the pit was first opened about 1840 by Ackers and Whitley. Following the closure of Abram Colliery, the shafts, the Arley mine and even the colliery band were taken over by Bickershaw Colliery. Some years after the colliery closed, a lighted cigarette was dropped down one of the old capped shafts. This resulted in a massive explosion that completely blew off the concrete capping on the shaft.

 

The Black Sheep Index also has records of mining accidents and names of the deceased at:

 

 

Keep scrolling down until you find Jones, John Edward, 26, Abram Wigan, 1881

 

Winifred May Davies and John Edward Jones were married in September 1879 in Ffestiniog, Caernarvonshire, Wales. Winifed was 14 years of age and John would have been 24. They moved to Lancashire right after marrying and their brief marriage was cut short by tragedy only 2 years later.

I have recently been asked what my George Hutchinson had to do with the Ripper case and now is the time to tell you. The reason that I know for a fact that my George Hutchinson is the exact same George Hutchinson who witnessed the last victim (Winifred May Davies) and her murderer walking into Miller's Court, is because his handwriting matches.

 

On November 12, 1888, when Inspector Abberline and fellow officers took George Hutchinson's witness statement, they then had George sign it. Well, the George Hutchinson, born in Australia had a son named Robert Hutchinson who enlisted into the Australian Imperial Force in the First World War, and his father George signed this document also. Well, the handwriting matches perfectly. Go to page 5 of 55, then look at question number 8 - "Who is your next of kin?"

 

 

Now compare Robert's father's signature to that of George Hutchinson, RIPPER WITNESS:

 

 

I would like it known here and now that the Freemasons and Masonic Ripperologists have been accusing a completely innocent man of the Ripper murders for the last 119 years. I want this known and corrected!!

 

 

 

 

As I mentioned last week, Reginald Hutchinson was born in West Leeds, Yorkshire to George Hutchinson and Florence Burnett on February 24, 1918. I not only have his birth certificate in my possession, but I also have his marriage certificate as well. He married Queenie Scott on September 11, 1943 in Leeds, Yorkshire. I also discovered that Reginald Burnett-Hutchinson just died on May 14, 2004 in Gualala, Mendocino, California at the age of 86.

 

Now, the Romford connection..........................

 

In the days preceeding Winifred May Davies's death, George reported that he was in Romford, Essex. Many assume that he was in Romford to visit the various markets found there, and to some extent that may be true. However, there was another reason that George may have been in Romford  in the early days of November 1888. George had family that resided in Romford, namely his uncle related by marriage, Thomas Clark. Thomas was married to George's aunt Naomi Baker (Jane Baker's younger sister). By the 1881 Census, Thomas Clark and Naomi Baker had divorced and resided in different areas of England. Thomas Clark lived in Romford, Essex at Dagenham Road Cottages, and Naomi Baker lived in Framfield, Sussex. Thomas died in 1923 and Naomi Baker died in April-June 1902.

Just who was murdered in 13 Miller's Court in the early morning hours of November 9, 1888? Was it Mary Jane Kelly, whom many believe, or was it somebody else? I will now reveal the true identity of the murder victim.......

 

In Melvyn Fairclough's book, "The Ripper And The Royals", he shows the photos of Inspector Abberline's diaries and states that in them, Abberline wrote that the last murder victim was not named Mary Jane Kelly, but was in fact another woman named Winifred Collis. Abberline further wrote that Mary Jane Kelly's real name was Mary Jane O'Brien and that she was sent to Canada by Abberline right after the murder in Miller's Court, because she was the intended victim. However, the prominent Royal Arch Masons who attempted to kill Mary ended up killing the wrong woman. On "Mary Jane"'s death certificate, it states that the victim was named, "Mary Jane Kelly, otherwise Davies", and Ripperologists wrongly believe that Mary Jane was married to a man named Davies in Wales in 1879. Noone, to this date has been able to find a record of a marriage between the years of 1875-1888 of any Mary Jane Kelly to a man named Davies.

 

Abberline stated that Mary Jane Kelly (nee O'Brien) had met a 20 year old girl named Winifred Collis while working in the West End of London, and the two became close friends.

 

Through my research, I was able to ascertain that a Winifred May Davies had married a man named John Edward Jones in Wales in September 1879 in Ffestiniog, Caernarvonshire, Wales. Winifred May Davies was born in August 1865 in Groyddelwern, Merioneth, Wales and in Abberline's diary he stated that the victim was born in August 1865. Furthermore, Winifred's husband, John Edward Jones was a collier who died in a huge mining explosion at Abram Wigan, Lancashire on December 19, 1881. He was 26 years of age when he died. This accident took the lives of 48 coal miners.

 

Mary Jane O'Brien was actually 35 years of age in 1888, and if you will remember, a female witness named Kennedy stated to the police that she had gone to visit her parents at 3:30 am in Miller's Court and saw two women speaking to a man or two men just outside of Mary's room. She said that one woman was clearly older than the other woman. The older woman was Mary Jane O'Brien since the murder victim was only 23 years of age.

 

Mary Jane O'Brien was born on August 14, 1853 in Rathcoffey, Kildare, Ireland and "Kelly" was the name of a family friend. She did have family in County Limerick and especially in County Clare, since she was related to the Royal O'Brien's of Dromoland Castle.

 

You can find even more information about this in my book, "Jack The Ripper:The Satanic Team" as there is far too much to type here.

 

In conclusion, if you are a serious Ripper researcher, then take any information that you have picked up on the Casebook website and throw it into the garbage where it belongs, because you have been duped by the Freemasons and Illuminati members who dominate and protect the information pertaining to this case!! Start from the drawing board.

 This is a very interesting paradox that has been hotly debated for the last 119 years. George Hutchinson was the gentleman who gave a very detailed witness statement to the police on November 12, 1888 pertaining to the very last murder committed by Jack The Ripper. George stated that he saw a man who was 5 foot 7 inches tall, with a moustache curled up at both ends, 34-35 years of age, wearing an Astrakhan trimmed coat, and boots with buttoned gaiters, etc......

 

Seeing as the last murder was committed on November 9, just three days prior to George's testimony, some people have claimed that the reason that George took 3 days to go to the police is because he was guilty of the crime. This is entirely incorrect and I will now explain why.........

 

Most Ripperologists believe that George Hutchinson was born in London, England and was a groom, when that is not accurate at all, because they have not done their research properly. George Hutchinson was born on March 5, 1866 in Dunkeld, Victoria, Australia. His parents were Henry William Morris Hutchinson and Jane Baker. His parents had immigrated to Australia from England in 1853 and he still had an uncle who resided in Romford, Essex, England. He married Jane Forsythe in 1886 and they had the following children:

 

Henrietta - born on February 9, 1887 in Nurrabiel, Victoria

Ruby Eliza - born on November 14, 1888 in Nurrabiel, Victoria

Robert - born on October 12, 1891 in Nurrabiel, Victoria

Leonard Roy - born on February 15, 1895 in Pimpinio, Victoria

George Cecil Harold - February 21, 1898 in Pimpinio, Victoria

Ralph Trevor - born on July 5, 1900 in Horsham, Victoria

Hector Henry - born on March 24, 1903 in Horsham, Victoria

Jean Iris - born on June 17, 1905 in Horsham, Victoria

 

My book, "Jack The Ripper:The Satanic Team" also includes their dates of death and their spouses names and the dates of their marriages.  Have you not heard of Family Search.org? All of this information can be found here. Simply type in George Hutchinson and Jane Forsyth as the parents and you will receive the names of the children:

 

 

All of George Hutchinson and Jane Forsyth's children can be found at the bottom of the page in the Pedigree Resource File, and there you will find Ruby Eliza who was born on November 14, 1888.

 

The reason that George took 3 days to go to the police with his statement is because he was married and his wife was due to give birth at any time (Ruby Eliza was born on the 14th of November IN AUSTRALIA!!!!!!) and more importantly, George was a Freemason. As a mason, George would have had a moral dilemma - he had taken an oath to never reveal the secrets of a brother Mason. George had seen Prince Albert Victor with the last murder victim in the early morning hours of November 9, 1888. Plus, with George being married, he would not want his very pregnant wife to get upset over the whole affair. So, George stated at the inquest that he was a groom, only to state to the press on the 13th that he was a laborer and the press stated further that George had a military bearing. The latter is indeed correct - I discovered that George Hutchinson was in fact a Steel Works Labourer and an Ex-Private of the West Yorkshire Regiment, also known as The Prince Of Wales' Own. He was never a groom. He had a son named Reginald Burnett - Hutchinson with a woman from Yorkshire, named Florence Burnett on February 24, 1918 in the county of Leeds. George was not free to marry Florence at this time because he was still married to Jane Forsythe. After his wife Jane died on October 25, 1932, George was finally free to marry Florence Burnett in 1934.

 

Many Freemasons accuse George Hutchinson of the murders because he was a Freemason who went against his Masonic oath and gave vital information to the Police. Hence, George Hutchinson was a WITNESS, not a suspect. That is why Inspector Abberline stated that George's testimony was so ultra important. George's real name was George Henry Wheatley Hutchinson and he passed away on December 4, 1948 in Horsham, Victoria, Australia.

 

For this information and the documents pertaining to the above, please read my book, "Jack The Ripper:The Satanic Team."

I have in my possession 10 emails from Steve Pearson, which is exactly where I received my information from. He was very friendly indeed and even offered to help me with my research by going to the local public records office in Worcestershire and Staffordshire.

 

Also, Steve told me that Alfred's second cousin, Dr. John Jones Parrish and Alfred worked together in a private practice. We had plenty of conversations which lasted from the months of March to May 2006 and the last email is dated May 19, 2006. People can argue the facts as much as they want and twist and pervert the facts. It is much easier for Freemasons to say that you're lying instead of facing the fact that I solved the case, because they don't want it solved. They would rather continue to profit off of the murders of six prostitutes instead. I used the name Karen Trenouth or Karen Poulin (maiden name) with Steve.

 

Now, I will tell you even more information about Alfred. Steve reported to me that not much of Alfred's belongings remain due to the fact that Townsend House was torn down in the 1960's. He also told me that he never got a chance to meet Una, Alfred's youngest daughter, as she died in London in 1980 or 1981. He also told me that all of the Police force, judges, magistrates and lawyers would have known Dr. Alfred Pearson because they were either friends or relatives of the Pearson family. So, Dr. Pearson is not the man who brandished the trowel in Brierley Hill on the night of October 8, 1888. It was his nephew, Arthur Pearson who committed that hoax. Masonic hoax, anyone?!!! Arthur was an iron moulder from West Bromwich and it was he who brandished the trowel.

Personally, I don't think that Steve Pearson really understood the scenario of the trowel incident. He should read both of my books for the explanation of that. He thought that I meant that Dr. Pearson brandished the trowel.

 

Here is an email correspondence between Steve Pearson and myself (Karen Trenouth):

After I had been speaking with Steve Pearson for a couple of months, I received the big brown envelope that I had been waiting for. I contacted the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, Scotland to obtain copies of Dr. Alfred William Pearson's grades, handwriting samples and other genealogical information. When I opened the envelope, I was astounded by how much information I was given on him. Then I saw it - his handwriting - and I then began comparing it to the Jack The Ripper letters. These are the letters that Dr. Pearson wrote to the press, and to the Police. I was flabberghasted when I saw that the handwriting was a perfect match. I then felt duty-bound to tell Steve Pearson that his relative was indeed Jack the Ripper. He was shocked at first, but all in all, took the news well.

 

A few months later, I was looking over some of the genealogical information again and read that Dr. Alfred Pearson had attended Queen's College in Birmingham, so I contacted them to obtain more handwriting samples. They were kind enough to give me 3 samples of his handwriting. So, in total, I now have in my possession, 4 handwriting samples from Dr. Alfred William Pearson (Jack The Ripper). He was quite a handwriting expert, I must say. Each signature looks completely different from each other.

 

I was pleased that these academic institutions were so kind to give me all of this information - information which more than exceeded my expectations.

I was fortunate enough to speak with a very articulate and well-mannered man named Steve Pearson via email. Steve is the great-great-great nephew of Dr. Alfred William Pearson, aka Jack The Ripper. Steve is a genealogist and knows a great deal about his own family, so he was able to give me alot of information about Alfred. He told me that Alfred stood at 5 feet 8 inches tall and had shared a private medical practice with his second cousin, Dr. John Jones Parrish, prior to inheriting his father's large estate home, where he would start up his own medical practice. Alfred was a surgical apprentice to Dr. Parrish at the tender age of 20. In 1870-1872 Dr. Pearson obtained the status of a Licensed Midwife from Queen's College in Birmingham. Then, in late 1872, he was attending the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, Scotland. On November 3, 1876, he obtained his double licentiate as a Licensed Physician and Licensed Surgeon. He was  registered as a doctor on January 13, 1880. Dr. Pearson's wife, Elizabeth Ann Rogers's brother was Sir Robert Hargreaves Rogers, a shirtmaker whose offices were located in Oxford Street, London. Dr. Pearson and his wife had three daughters:

 

Bernice Rogers Pearson - born on July 26, 1881

Gladys Alfreda Rogers Pearson - born on October 12, 1884, died on November 4, 1885

Una Christinie Rogers Pearson - born in 1891, died in London in 1980-1981

 

Dr. Pearson was married twice - he married Elizabeth Ann Rogers in June 1895 in Kidderminster District. Elizabeth passed away in 1901, leaving Alfred to care for his 2 young daughters on his own. He remarried in September 1907 to Wilhelmina Barclay Clark. She was the daughter of David H. Clark, a Justice of the Peace.

 

I sincerely enjoyed my conversations with Steve and treasure every piece of information that I was given. This is just a sampling of the information that I have on Dr. Pearson. Please order my book, "Jack The Ripper:The Satanic Team" for more.

First, I read all of the post mortem reports of the murder victims, then approximately two months later I was looking over the crime scene photos and made a most interesting discovery. I saw that on the bedside table next to the last murder victim, a bronze goat-headed idol was left by the murderer. I then realized that this idol was Baphomet, which is the God of the Witches and the God of Masonry. This idol was not mentioned in any of the police reports or in the post mortem reports, so I then came to the conclusion that a very important person was being protected. That person was none other than, Prince Albert Victor. He also left many other clues at the last murder scene, which included his Order of the Garter insignia and his murder weapons. This victim was killed much differently than the others - she was actually field-dressed after she bled to death from the severance of her carotid artery. Deer hunting and field-dressing were a favorite pastime of the Aristocracy in those days and Prince Eddy was an accomplished deer hunter and field dresser. Hyde Park, in London, was a deer park in its earliest days and was filled with deer for the Nobility to engage in their favorite sport.

 

The other five murder victims were killed by a talented Surgeon, named Dr. Alfred William Pearson, from the Brierley Hill area, also known as the Black Country. I did initially realize that a Surgeon commited the other murders due to the brilliant nature of the surgical procedures, types of incisions, and the rarity of the procedure performed on the victim, Catherine Eddowes. She was given an anterior transperitoneal nephrectomy of the left kidney.

 

To read all about these facts and many more, please order my books at:

 

 

I have conducted a thorough research investigation of the murders committed by Jack The Ripper. In the autumn of 1888, 6 women were brutally murdered by 6 men of high personage. Five of the suspects were aristocrats, namely, Lord Arthur Somerset, Prince Albert Victor, Herbrand Arthur Russell, Henry James Fitzroy, and William Humble Ward. The sixth person was Dr. Alfred William Pearson, physician/surgeon. All of the victims were killed according to satanic ritual; and a demonic idol named, Baphomet, was left on the bedside table at the last crime scene. I also present handwriting samples from the surgeon, Pearson, who wrote many of the letters received by the Police and media. My first book, "Epiphany Of The Whitechapel Murders" was even boycotted by Freemasons, because I nailed it!
