Francis Tumblety was an Irish-American (1833-1903) that has surfaced in at least one book to be a Ripper suspect. Tumblety was allegded to have been in London during at least some of the murders. But other than that, there has never been any evidence that he was Jack The Ripper.

There was the rumor that Tumblety was homosexual, a rumor with some merit. The Whitechapel murders was undoubtedly the work of a hetosexual man. Gay men usually kill other gay men, so we can probably eliminate him from the suspect list.

Was HH Holmes the same person as Jack the Ripper?

No!Jack the Ripper is the moniker associated with a series of murders of prostitutes which occurred in London's Whitechapel district during the latter half of 1888.Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes is a detective who lives in Baker Street, London. The first Holmes story "A Study in Scarlet" was first published in 1887, so in that sense Jack the Ripper and the character of Sherlock Holmes were contemporaries, but there the association ends.A film, "Murder by Decree" (1978) starring Christopher Plummer as Sherlock Holmes and James Mason as Dr. Watson, the character of Holmes becomes involved in the story of Jack the Ripper, but there is no reference to the Whitechapel murders in any of Conan Doyle's original stories.A couple of witness statements given during the original Ripper investigation suggested that the killer may have worn a deerstalker hat, which is also coincidentally associated with Holmes.

What part of the London bridge did Jack the Ripper jump?

If this question refers to the real Jack the Ripper, and not a fictional one, the answer would be that there were no known sightings of the murderer, and thus, it isn't known if he jumped off of ANY bridge. There is, however, a story that says that, every year on the 31st of December, a ghost appears by the Elizabeth Tower(formerly the clock tower, and known as Big Ben), and who stumbles out onto the WESTMINSTER bridge, climbs over the edge, and jumps into the Thames. This ghost is said to be that of Jack the Ripper. However, this is, A, a legend, and B, could, if it does indeed exist, be the ghost of any unfortunate soul.
