3» Regarding Paulas comments about the Eddowes and Nicholls graves being in the City of London cemetery. I found out when I went there that they are only 2 plaques on the grass and to find them you have to go to the office to find the location. You are then asked to fill out a form saying why you want the information. You are then asked for a contact phone number to check whether you are genuine from a third party. Only then do they give you a map showing directions. In my case this all took about 30 minutes. I think this security check is to find out whether or not you are a prospective grave wrecker.
