Thanks also to Mary Twentyman for a correction to the address I gave for Rachel's mother Elizabeth Brook when she left Clifton to live with her nephew. The address was Goose Hill not Gorse Hill. Handwriting is sometimes tricky to interpret on a census and I imagine this is what threw me.
Hi Anna
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ken Langford
I've just finished reading your book and found it fascinating.
I've just been discussing the suspects with my oldest grandson and he's come up with an alternative theory!
What about a case of mistaken identity? could it have been that Rachel Brook was the intended victim and Elizabeth Rayner was murdered by mistake?
Maybe a subject for another book?
