Otto--Not to toss a wrench in your machinery, but don't you have a problem in that Maybrick permanently moved from Norfolk to Liverpool after March 1884?

Otto, I appreciate your effort to search for one next time you go to the Library of Congress.Your tip to see what may be available on Abberline in Monaco may be a good one.
For your information, Otto, in 1898, Abberline became the European agent for the Pinkerton Detective Agency.An extract from his handwritten memoirs, which, frustratingly do not cover the Whitechapel murders, "Reminiscences of Ex-Detective Chief Inspector F. G. Abberline C.I.D. Scotland Yard.Three Successive Seasons or Twelve Months Behind the Scenes at Monte Carlo" appeared in the Bournemouth convention issue of Ripperologist, No. 37, October 2001.
A photograph or photographs of Abberline may exist, just as such images of Tumblety may also exist, but part of the problem in the case of both men may be that they died childless.
Best regards
