  Martha Tabram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martha Tabram (May 10, 1849 - August 7, 1888) is considered by some to be a possible early victim of the notorious unidentified serial killer known as "Jack the Ripper", who killed and mutilated prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of London.
Martha Tabram was aged 39 and destitute at the time of her death.
Tabram was born Martha White on May 10, 1849, in Southwark, London, the daughter of Charles Samuel White, a warehouseman, and his wife Elisabeth Dowsett.

Martha Tabram (name sometimes misspelled as Martha Tabran; used the alias Emma Turner; maiden name Martha White), born on May 10, 1849, and killed on August 7, 1888.
Of the non-canonical Whitechapel murders, Tabram is named most often as another possible Ripper victim, due to the evident lack of obvious motive, the geographical and periodic proximity to the canonical attacks, and the remarkable savagery of the attack.
The main difficulty with including Tabram lies in the fact that the killer used a different modus operandi (stabbing, rather than slashing the throat and then cutting), but it is now accepted that a killer's modus operandi can change, sometimes quite dramatically.

Tabram also learned that his former spouse was living with another man. This, in addition to the forementioned issues, led Martha's ex husband to cease any form of financial support towards her.
Martha's new romantic interest also felt that her penchant for drunkenness was a deep thorn in their relationship.
Martha and the Private went to George Yard while Poll and the Corporal headed off to Angel Alley; the two were reasonably quiet areas where the women wouldn't be very disturbed as they earned their living.

Martha Tabram was murdered on 7 August 1888 in George’s Yard, Whitechapel.
Martha was discovered lying on the first floor of George’s Yard Buildings (a small tenement at the back of Whitechapel's Toynbee Hall) in a pool of blood.
Tabram is now rarely included in the list of the Ripper's victims primarly because she was stabbed to death by a large sharp implement (possibly a bayonet or sword) and she was not mutilated or disembowelled.

 Martha Tabram - The Education Forum
I think there is a good case to be made that Martha Tabram aka Martha Turner was a Ripper victim, although the nature of her wounds, 39 stabs rather than the "ripping" and throat cut seen in the other canonical Whitechapel murders make it seem materially different.
In the case of Tabram, the second 'Whitechapel murders' victim, there is nothing in the way of evidence to persuade us that she was a Ripper victim.
PS Whether she was a ripper victim or not, poor Martha is, as Mr Ogan says, the forgotten victim.

Shortly before her death Martha Tabram was last seen in the company of a soldier-Coldstream Guards style uniform possibly from the Tower Barracks.
Tabram suffered 39 stab wounds.One of which pierced her heart and was probably inflicted by a 'bayonet' type weapon.
