The Mysterious Mary Kelly.

Mary Jane Kelly an enigma amongst the victims of the man known as Jack
The Ripper. Different in so many way's, she was young only 25. The other victims were over 40. She was said to have been quite attractive. Unlike the worn down drab's that Jack's other victims were. Mary had her own room, the other victim's lived in Doss houses where a bed was paid for with a four penny knee trembler against a wall.
Mary Jane Kelly's origins are uncertain to say the least, a tangled web of what is probably a little truth and a lot of fabrication. Joseph Barnett, who had been Mary's partner until shortly before she was killed, if indeed Mary was a ripper victim, stated that she had told him she was borne in Limerick, Ireland in 1863. According to an article in the Daily Telegraph of 13 November, she may have been one of many children. Perhaps as many as six brothers and a sister.
Whilst Mary was still a young girl the family moved to South Wales. There is some confusion as to whether the whole family moved to Wales or just Mary and her father. They settled in Llanelli, where her father was employed as a foreman in the local iron works. At the age of 16 Mary married a local collier named Davies. There is no record of this marriage held at St Catherines House. Tragically, Davies was killed in a mining accident a year later. However, this may be a fabrication on Mary's part. A Swansea reporter of the Western Mail published a statement made by a Mr John Rees of the Stepney Hotel in Llanelli. Mr Rees said that he employed Mary Jane Kelly as a servant in his hotel and that Mary left his employ to go to Swansea. Mary was said to frequent the Unity Inn is Swansea.
On the 15 November in a letter published in the Western Mail, the landlady of the Unity Inn said that no-one by the name of Mary Jane Kelly frequented her establishment. However, a young woman by the name of Abigail Kelly did. The Llanelly and County Guardian, on the 15 November reported:
It has been that Kelly was a Llanelli woman and that she left the area a few years ago. This does not appear to be correct as an investigation has failed to associate her with the town. No doubt the statement was made with reference to the Kelly family on the Wern, but all the girls are accounted for, two having left for America while the other lives with her husband in......continued

Cardiff. This will be of interest as we will see later.
THE 1861 census shows that at 42 Wern Road, Llanelli there lived a family named Kelly. Dennis Kelly, with his wife Julia and his daughters, one of whom was called Abigail. In 1881Abigail married William Muir at St Mary's Catholic Church, Llanelli.
It now seems fairly obvious that it was Abigail and not Mary Jane that John Rees employed. However, there is a strange twist to this tale. The Western Mail of 13 November, published a statement by Mr John Rees in which he said that some 6 months earlier he had met Kelly in London and that she “Ran across the street “ and addressed him in Welsh. But at this time Abigail and her husband William were supposedly living in Kansas City, USA. If we assume that Rees is telling the truth who was he met in London? Was it Abigail or Mary Jane Kelly? Or were Abigail and Mary one and the same person.
Mary's story continues, as told by Joseph Barnett. After the death of her husband Mary went to stay with a cousin in Cardiff. Is it possible that this cousin was the daughter of Dennis Kelly of The Wern, Llanelli? Mary told Joseph that it was her cousin who introduced her to life on the street. Mary spent some time in the Cardiff Infirmary, reason unknown. Research undertaken by others has failed to find a Mary Jane Kelly in the Infirmary records.
Mary goes to London where she works in a high class West End brothel. She also went to France with a gentleman friend but returned a few weeks later as it was not to her liking. However, she did start calling herself Marie Jeanette Kelly and also Mary Jeanette Kelly.
For reasons unknown Mary eventually slides into the squalor and degradation of London's East End. It is possible that she was seeking refuge in the anonymity of sprawling East End. She may have possibly worked in one of the many East End brothels. But, how then did she end up in one of the meanest streets in the area? Dorset Street, known locally as Dossers Street was a nest of criminality, even the Police entered in pairs or more. Perhaps the brothel in which she worked became a victim of the fire and brimstone character Frederick Charrington. He was a brewery owner's son who, after witnessing a woman suffer a terrible beating by a drunken brute outside of a Charrington public house, turned to abstinence and celebacy as a man of God. He gave up a considerable fortune to follow his path of preaching the horrors of the demon drink all over the East End. He eventually turned his attention to the brothels and was successful in having a number of them shut down.
Mary may have been a part time prostitute resorting to the streets only when she had to. Mary was apparently well educated. In an interview given to the Press Associaton published in the Western Mail 10 November, Mrs McCarthy, with whom Kelly once lived at Breezers Hill Of Pennington Street, said that Mary was an excellent scholar and an artist of no mean degree. She also said that Mary was of a well-to-do family. The Times reported that Maria Harvey, who had stayed with Mary for a few nights, said that her status was much superior to that of most persons in her position. Why then did Mary ask Joseph to read the newspapers accounts of the murders to her?
Mary may have supplemented her income by way of an illegal arrangement with a un-named man who worked as a Layer out of the bodies of those that had died in the London Hosptal. Some of the dead were layed out in their Sunday-best. After the family had viewed the body the un-named man would remove the clothes and sell to Kelly, who in turn, sold them on. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Mary is also alleged to have had two children. One of which was adopted, the other sent overseas. This may be important as we shall see.
It should now be obvious that Mary Jane Kelly is encased in a fabric of mystery. And yet the plot thickens. A letter was allegedly received at Scotland Yard which was from a Miss Norma O'brien of Reefers Castle, Limerick, Ireland. There is no Reefers Castle in Limerick, Ireland. Miss O'brien stated that Mary Jeanette Kelly was her niece and that her real name was Mary Jane O'brien. She stated that she had been receiving letters
from her under the name of Mary Jeanette Kelly. Miss O'brien also claimed to have received a Christmas card from Kelly in January 1889. The card was posted in Canada. This may also be of significance.
If Mary was indeed still alive in 1889 then it would explain the at odds statement given by Mrs Caroline Maxwell of 14 Dorset street, who stated

that she saw Mary at approx 8.30 am on the morning of 9 November. Mary looked very ill and told Mrs Maxwell that she had the “Orror's” of the drink upon her. Mrs Maxwell told to go to the ringers pub, the Brittannia, for a half of beer. Mary said she had done that and thrown it back up again whilst pointing to some vomit in the gutter. At about 9.00 am Mrs Maxwell saw Mary again talking to a man outside the Brittannia. On the 17 November The Times reported that a Maurice Lewis, a tailor from Dorset Street, saw Mary leave her room at 8.00 am and return soon afterwards. He claimed to have seen Kelly later in the Horn of Plenty public house, sitting with some women at around 10.00 am.
Now if Mary had been out most of the night of the 8 November and returned to her room to find the mutilated body, she would most certainly have been in a state of shock. In her shocked state she barred the door with the marble topped table strewn with flesh and made her escape through the window. At the entrance to Millers Court she stopped and vomited, this is when she was seen by Mrs Maxwell. Mr Lewis must have seen Mary as she walked to the entrance. But would Mary have stayed in the area drinking with friends? Possibly, especially if she was waiting for someone to take her out of the East End. Who was the man Mrs Maxwell saw Mary talking to outside of the Brittannia?
If Mary wasn't the victim then who was? A name in the frame is that of is Winifred May Collis. No documentary evidence has been found as yet to support the existence of this person.
You will recall that Mary was said to have two children, one of whom was adopted, the other sent overseas. It was allegedly a boy sent overseas, to Vancouver, Canada. It was from here that Miss Norma O'brien received the Christmas card sent by Kelly. After her arrival in Canada Mary changed her name to Mary Jane Claston.
That concludes the story of Mary Jane Kelly, aka, Marie Jeanette Kelly, aka, Abigail Kelly, aka, Mary Jane O'brien, aka, Mary Claston.

Thank you very much, Steve, for all of your interesting information on Mary Jane Kelly. In my second book on the Ripper murders, "Jack the Ripper: The Satanic Team" I find that Mary changed her name to Edith Claston and later moved to Kingston, Ontario. Her son, Michael, however, stayed in Vancouver and worked for a publishing house.

Thank you Karen. Mary truly is a mystery. To be honest I haven't read your books yet but I will. I have been studying the Ripper murders for 20 years and have been on a break for a few years.
I am particularly interested in your findings on Mary in Canada. Fascinating!!

steve.

In the 1911 Canadian Census, there is only 1 woman named Claston, but she was born in 1850 which most people would consider too old to have been Mary Jane Kelly.
