    Notes:

    Later one of the Easterbrook nieces who had worked in this beerhouse married her Pope first cousin,
    thus ensuring that the inbreeding continued!  This is the couple in the 1881 census
    - John Smerdon Pope Junior and Mary Jane nee Easterbrook.
    They had eight children, but four of those died as babies or children.    Six of their children
    carried the middle name Smerdon.

    1871 census
    A couple of doors away, at 5 Tooke Street, lived William GASKIN, who like John POPE, was a labourer
    at the chemical works, with his wife Jane and their six children including William Thomas
    GASKIN.  The GASKINS were East London-born, and all of the children had been born in Poplar.
     So Lydia and her husband must have met as children.
