I would be really grateful for another pair of eyes on this one.
Alfred Edward Wittey b1842/43 Shoreditch married Sarah Edith Middlebrook in 1863. She was born c.1844 Cripplegate according to the 1871 census, but i am having trouble finding them in 1881, please can anyone find them? Many thanks Rebecca.

Does the occupation match with 1871?

Maybe the enumerator just wrote the initials down wrong as everything else seems to fit doesn't it?
