Hi William

I am not sure this is given out as "fact" that Maybrick attended Liverpool Collegiate. In Shirley Harrison's The Diary of Jack the Ripper (Hyperion, 1993), p. 19, it is simply noted, "James probably attended Liverpool College, like [brother] Michael [Maybrick], but records were lost during World War II." If you can find any information to deny or confirm the claim I would be most interested.
