I have managed to find some details on three of the people who were on the jury at the Kelly inquest and thought these might be of interest - I'll see if I can find anything on the others.

I am reasonably confident that the Henry Dawkes who is listed on the Kelly inquest jury can be identified as the following:
1891
7 Victoria Cottages, Archway Road, Hornsey
Henry Dawkes aged 32 born Shoreditch - Inspector (Weights and Measures)
1881:
68 High Street, London
Henry Dawkes Jnr. aged 22 born London - Wholesale Oilsman

The most likely candidate for the Samuel Jenkins on the jury is as follows:
1891:
5 Northport Street, Shoreditch
Samuel Jenkins aged 51 born Shoreditch - Retired hairdresser
