Elizabeth and John T Stride

[revpetero]

On the Census of 1881 they are listed as living at 69 Usher Road, Bow.

The years of birth seem to be a discrepence. I know somebody here will know if these are the right people.

Thanks

This is definitely the right couple, Elizabeth's place of brith being given as Stockholm
She was born in Nov 1843, so at the time of the 1881 census (April of that year) she would actually have been 37 years old, whereas her age in the census is given as 34
Do bear in kind that the age field is one of the least reliable in the census data, as I have found to my cost on more than one occasion!
