If she lied about everything else, why not her age? It makes more sense from a victimology standpoint that she would be similar in age to the other victims and therefore that she lied. If the romanticizing of Mary is largely based on her age, then maybe if we stopped saying she was 25, there would be less romanticizing? How do we know she’s 25?

If the romanticizing of Mary is largely based on her age, then maybe if we stopped saying she was 25, there would be less romanticizing?

It all traces back to Stephen Knight's 1978 book, Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, which has been pretty thoroughly discredited and this so-called Mary Kelly is a product of the same kettle of fish.

Here we have 2 women who state that their respective great or great great grandmother had a daughter who "sang on the English stage" and had a father John and that she disappears from the records after 1881. Census records substantiate their claims and show that she had a brother Henry and a sister who was a merchant....

Or some other Royalty? Is Mary Kelly the subject of some renewed claims to the throne? From a different bloodline of France? Are they all hoaxes? http://museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/forums/viewthread/6776/P22 Do you mean the version of the Royal Conspiracy involving Prince Eddy and the cover-up of his affair and child with Annie Crook?

We don't know who Mary Kelly was, or even if Mary Kelly was her real name. This bit shows up every now and again and is strongly linked to the Royal Conspiracy Theory. Not the greatest source. Sorry.

I think she's 30 with descendants from Glasgow and Winnipeg. You can find her by searching Mary Jane Kelly Descendants. http://www.topix.com/forum/ca/winnipeg-mb/TE53B2AQTJ4KEH4T7 Can anyone verify this one?

What do you base this on, other than your own personal speculation and broad generalizations. Nothing like this gets us any closer to the truth. Sorry. In fact, it actually muddies the waters quite a bit. Again, Harry… What do you base this on, other than your own personal speculation and broad generalizations.

She likely had several children, all of whom would probably have emigrated to Australia or the Americas. Publicity will improve the chances of the relatives, who may be doing online genealogy, to realize and come forward.

Nothing verifiable. May be a hard truth to live with, but it's the truth just the same. We could all play guessing games and what if till the end of time and it'd get us no closer to the truth.
