My Great Great grandfather John Bennett Booker was licensed Victualler, but I am still trying to find out the duration he was at the Ship � my great uncle still recalls this grandmother (John�s wife) telling him stories about Jack the Ripper! John Bennett Booker is at the Ship, 140 Hanbury Street in 1891, whilst his father is at the Pauls Head, 1 Crispin Street, Spitalfields **
