She had suffered a deep slash to her throat and severe cuts to her abdomen and uterus. The daughter of a locksmith, she was born in London in 1845 and married William Nichols, a printer's machinist, in 1864. They had five children before their marriage broke up in 1880. Polly spent her remaining years in workhouses and boarding houses, living off her meager earnings as a prostitute.
