Subject: Question on British pronunications

I just read a book by Martha Grimes and I came across the following names:

Ruthen pro. rivv'n
Jubal pro. to rhyme with rubble

And another one: Bichester-Strachan pro. Bister-strawn

I'm rather curious - how does this work? American English is a bit different.
