Thanks John,

I'd assumed that his two years in Sing Sing was a consequence of his unpaid hotel bill in July 1893, but he wasn't sentenced until 22 September. What you have just provided is new information ! 

He is certainly hard to find in passenger lists.

Myton sub district was (and I think still is) the location of the Hull Royal Infirmary. So this is probably a hospital birth.

Why do you think she was born in Myton?

Just to close out one of the questions on this one, I've now seen the Horton Asylum case notes (Thanks Alison !) and the descriptions of the scars on the back of the neck and the outside of the right leg match the prison description from Sing Sing. So it is the same man.  Our thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread.
 
We still haven't identified "Miss O'Donnell" though.

I see that there are several public trees on Ancestry for him with details of his German wife.

You will have to wait until 2032 to apply for his records.

"Military service records contain personal data, including medical information. They are closed under Freedom of Information (FOI) exemptions until 115 years past the date of birth of the individual."

It was easier when the records were held by the MoD.
