John Eddowes
John was born on November 15th, 1879 in Birkenhead.⁹ 

• Birth Notes
  • There is no Birth registration for any John Eddowes in 1881.  It appeard he was born late 1879, so was aged 1 month at the start of 1881,  not the 1st April.  Maybe the 1 should be 6 months, and then he would be 81 when he died (as recorded).
