Victims General: Top Threads

[Guest]

I'd like to go through every main section and list the top three threads so that we can do a Google analysis on the data and determine why they are so popular.

I've heard of Roslyn D'Onston but I don't know who John Gill is or anything about the Chloroformed Girl.

I wonder why they are so popular.

 There are aspects in those three threads that people "know" are important.

 Sometimes those reasons are not always "obvious".

John Gill, the eight year old murder victim from 1888 in Bradford, gets a million search hits, so his story is important. (I recall it now.)

Roslyn D'Onston, who is also a major Ripper suspect, by comparison gets 12000.

"Elizabeth Shuttleworth" only gets 1 or 2.

The hits for "Chloroformed Girl" is probably due to the fact that there are numerous videos entitled Chloroformed Girl.

 Nah....must be a coincidence....there aren't that many Baptists.

Roslyn D'Onston threads usually mention a Dr. Davies.

 The 1881 Census lists one as being born in Carmarthenshire,Wales and employing a 17 year old Mary Jane Best as a servant.

 Hmmm....Davies,Carmarthenshire,Mary Jane......sounds familiar,somehow....

Karen, perhaps you could give us a list of forum sections where surfers can post without registration.

I think the individual Victims sections have registration-free posting.

That might help along some of the weaker threads.

Are there any places surfers can begin a thread?
