- From my original source:
?i?In the 1871 census Nettie (Jeanette) is 8 and Ezra is 7. So they are one year apart. In the 1881 census, Nettie is 18 and Ezra 17. In the 1901 census, Nettie's date of birth is listed as May 24, 1864.

?b?Mrs. L.T. Ferriss Dies?/b?
Residents of Harrow were greatly shocked and saddened on Thursday morning when it was learned that Mrs. L.T. Ferriss had passed away during the night. She suffered a heart attack at one in the morning, from which she never recovered.
Mrs. Ferriss, who was 76 years, five months of age, was born in Colchester South, the daughter of the late David Davey, a prominent stone mason and builder of this district. She was the wife of Mr. L.T. Ferriss, well-known hardware merchant of Harrow.
