My friend and I are trying to solve this mystery, can you help us at all. My friend's email address is JamesMaybrick_is_JacktheRipper@yahoogroups.co.uk ADVICE ON SEARCHING FOR THE FAMILY OF FLORENCE MAYBRICK NAMELY HER SON SHE HAD WITH HENRY STANLEY FLINN. HE WAS BORN 1879 IN LIVERPOOL. Florence Maybrick was the wife of James Maybrick who was Jack the Ripper. Florence had an illegitimate son with Henry Stanley Flinn, who was a Ship Owner from Liverpool. He owned the Dominion and Mississippi Steam Ship Line. Florie named this child William, when he was born. Florie then had the baby adopted by MR AND MRS GRAHAM of Hartlepool Durham. As Henry Stanley Flinn is my husband's 4 cousin, I would very much like to trace the family but I don't know how to go about it. I have written to Anne E Graham, who is mentioned in the Book JACK THE RIPPER - THE FINAL CHAPTER. In fact, she helped to write the book, but she couldn't tell me where to go from where I have got to in my research. I wonder whether you could help me or not? I have found him on the 1881 census, and also the 1901 census. Now I would like to come forward and trace his family, as they are my husband's relations. Any ideas on how to do this would be most welcome. From Diane Sowden --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
