Mary Jane Kelly

Mary Jane Kelly , also known as Marie Jeanette Kelly, Fair Emma, Ginger and Black Mary, is widely believed to be the final victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer Jack the Ripper, who killed and mutilated several women in the Whitechapel area of London from late August to early November 1888. She was aboutyears old, and living in poverty at the time of her death. Reports of the time estimated her height atfeet andinches . Her hair colour is somewhat uncertain as her various nicknames imply.

Compared with other Ripper victims, Mary Kellys origins are obscure and undocumented, and much of it is possibly embellished. Kelly may have herself fabricated many details of her early life as there is no corroborating documentary evidence, but there is no evidence to the contrary either. According to Joseph Barnett, the man she had most recently lived with prior to her murder, Kelly had told him she was born in Limerick, Ireland in around 1863although whether she referred to the city or the county is not knownand that her family moved to Wales when she was young.
