Hello again; I am looking for children's songs or counting rhymes, in addition to other information, from the Victorian era from the Whitechapel district of London's east end. Anything common up to and during early 1888 actually. I am researching a novel about Jack the ripper. Thank you and have a great evening. Neil I can be reached here or at [e-mail] Thank you!
