    • Ignore the 75 years thingy. I looked up an inquest at the London Metropolitan Archives recently for an FTF member from the 1930s. The staff member who found it for me told me that the rules about them had been changed recently.

        I think this will be S. Ingleby Oddie.
        According to the "Jack the Ripper" casefile of 1941, he worked for Hutchinson & Company.
        Sounds like quite a 'famous' guy. There might be something hidden in Google about Ralph. I'll see if I can find anything.
