I do find it very intriguing. My first thought was and I still do not rule it out that this is actually female. We have seen on this boards that such mistakes do happen quite frequently when remains are skeletonized, even in present days. I know that extensive work has been done on the case by authorities but personally I am not rulling it out yet. Also small hands and tiny frame are supporting my thought.
The obvious argument against that is that there is DNA on file for this body. That should mean that the sex is beyond reasonable doubt.
India - Immigration details I have located previously of the area of Burton has me quite intrigued too. Pakistani from Kasmir area, Indian's wearing wedding ring on right hand and remains being found on Cricket grounds ... note to myself to look into it further.
It would also be worth looking into what immigration from central and eastern Europe had taken place in Staffs. Communities of immigrants appear in some very unexpected places, eg Bradford has had a very strong Polish community since some point in the 20th century, reinforced by Polish refugees and veterans who did not return home after WWII.
