Mary Ann Louise was born about 1864 in Shoreditch so was just 14 when she presumably lied about her age and married. Her first census as a married woman, in 1881, gives her age as 20 (she was 17) but the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses record her age as 27, 37, 47 respectively, all of which are consistent with an 1864 birth.
