References

Wouldn't this article benefit from in-line references? Colin4C 19:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Princess Alice

Peter Ackroyd Thames: Sacred River, pp 389 claims that Stride was a survivor of the Princess Alice disaster, and that she ("perhaps falsely") had claimed to have lost her husband and three children in the accident (on 3 Sept 1878). I haven't added this snippet here, as it does not appear to concur with the timeline and circumstances of her life given in the article. Kbthompson (talk) 10:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Paul Begg in Jack the Ripper: The Facts (2006) pp 138-9 notes this story. According to Begg, Stride did indeed claim later that she was a survivor of the Princess Alice disaster and had lost a husband and three children in the accident. However historical records show that she didn't have any children and that her husband died in hospital six years after the boat sank. There is no historical record of her being on the boat at all, so the story is most probably a fantasy. Colin4C (talk) 17:26, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Height

Reid said she was 5 ft 2 in, but Fido uses her supposedly tall height of 5 ft 5 in to explain her nickname. Any ideas on how to resolve/explain the discrepancy? DrKiernan (talk) 11:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
