Around the corner is Jewry Lane wher Ivy was born (No; 7) although this is now a car park. Elizabeth hayes is mentioned as having a laundry shop in Canterbury in Kelly's Directory.

Eliza was a cook before meeting Robert, and as he was a butler it is assumed they met in service. Story: Eliza was offered a position at Buckingham Palace but declined it due to the poor wages, and went as a cook elsewhere.
