Harry James Vernon

[Clairekellet]

I wish TracyL from the original thread would come back...I sent her a pm but nothing.Would be interesting to know her connection and if she managed to make any headway.

AAAAAaaaaagggggghhhhhh....so frustrating!

Calm down! and think why a professional man would use aliases - and be quite open about using them.
An author or actor (criminals use them but would not 'publicise' them) would use an alias.

I'm going to ask this question on the open forum  in the meantime aaaarrrrgggghhh!

There is still the question of why Harry S Thompson - seemingly a wealthy man -used aliases.
What is the link between Harry S Thompson and Harry James Vernon?

Or indeed any of the other 4 names he was using on his death!

Purchase the will?

[Clairekellet]

Would that offer any explanations though?

[Clairekellet]

It's odd..have looked up all the various alias' & someone of each of the names can be found in Islington but with no connections..various ages..cab drivers...errand boys etc.There seems no rhyme or reason

[zetlander]

Would that offer any explanations though?

Was there a will.  Or was it the solicitors advertising for any one with a claim to come forward as he died intestate?

[Clairekellet]

It seems like the latter

He left a will, so the advert is for claims by his creditors, a not unusual advert.
