Yes; the pulse rate should be approximately the same.

However the pressure will vary as the artery in your neck is larger than the one in your arm.

The artery in your neck is called the carotid artery. Therefore the neck pulse is called the carotid pulse. The one at the wrist is called the radial artery thus giving it the name, radial pulse.

The average pulse for an adult is 65-70 beats per minute.

For a child, 80-90 and 100-120 for an infant.

Where should you find the pulse in a stroke victim?

You can find the pulse on the body either on the wrist or the neck. When checking for the pulse on the wrist you make sure you are checking on the side of the thumb using your pointer finger and middle finger. When you are checking on the neck (using the pointer finger and middle finger as well) take you fingers and go from the ear towards your chin. You will feel a little indenct on the neck but under the jaw. You should be able to feel the pulse in that area.
