This 'fashionably dressed' Henry Kelly

While I was looking for something else, I found this:


It's a report from 18th September 1880. Bangor (the town where the crime was perpetrated) was historically in Caernarfonshire - now under Gwynedd's administration. Mary Kelly, Barnett claimed, lived in either Caernarfonshire or Carmarthenshire. This 'fashionably dressed' Henry Kelly lived in Dublin with his family, which would explain why, if he was related to Mary Kelly, isn't present in the Welsh census. An intriguing information nugget but any conclusions are unfortunately speculative.
