Mary Ann Monk
From Jack the Ripper Wiki
Witness at Mary Ann Nichols' inquest.
Described as a 'young woman with a flushed face and a haughty air'[1], she was a former inmate of the Lambeth Workhouse and she knew Nichols from her time there six or seven years previously[2]. She also claimed to have last seen her six weeks previously in a pub in the New Kent Road and drank with her[3].
Mary Ann Monk was the first person to positively identify Nichols' body in the mortuary at 7.30pm, 31st August 1888.
