Cathaldus:  I heard the most likely suspect, and there were quite a few, was a nutcase from the U.S .who fancied himself as a medical doctor. So he may have been on the US census as a doctor?
 Francis Tumblety.
There is a bit about him on here, but lost more stuff on the Ripper online. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A704567 

Also another  interesting article from the US has the alliterative title  " Is the Ripper Resting in Rochester ?"

 He seems to have come from a large family although they used different name spellings. I wonder how many of his relatives are still around?

There are nine John Ripper in the 1901 census. And as Jack is derived from John .........

Fascinating if it really is the man from Rochester. I used to live in Rochester, and while I did, there was a serial killer killing prostitutes. He even dumped a body down the street from where I lived. He was caught soon after. Scary, he used to ride the same bus as me. Good thing i was a market research editor. 

My husband's great-grandparents lived in the White Chapel area at the time of Jack the Ripper. I think it was a Rootschatter who pointed that out to me when I was doing some research on his branch.
