In a matter of some gravity, I just found an Isaac Newton, while trawling through Wybunbury, Cheshire in the 1861.
     Probably not that Isaac, however

Hello all.
1901 census, living in Lambeth, London is the famous investigator of the Jack the Ripper case (portrayed by Johnny Depp in the 2001 film "From Hell"):

Frederick Abberline age 58, born Blandford, Dorset. Occupation is retired Chief Inspector of Police. Only three other Abberlines in 1901 including Emma, Frederick's wife, and an Edward Abberline age 61 born Blandford, Dorset living in Camberwell along with an Ellen Abberline age 52 born Canada living in Camberwell. I would imagine that Edward was Frederick's brother, and Ellen must be Edward's wife.

Born Frederick George Abberline, he married firstly Martha Mackness 1868 in Islington (she died of consumption shortly after their marriage). He married secondly Emma Beamont 1876 in Hendon. His brother Edward was infact registered as Edmund. Here is an interesting page about him, but they have neglected to mention Abberline's first wife.
