John Fletcher & Margaret (nee Beck) missing after 1881

[rutht22000]

Could anyone point me in the direction of where John and Margaret ended up?

He was John Fletcher (sometimes John Dickson Fletcher) a shipwright, born 1847 and he and Margaret married in 1874 in Liverpool.   She was born Durham around 1848 and had been married before to a Mr Palmer.

I have 3, possibly 4 children for them, namely:

Margaret Elizabeth, born 1877
Sarah Brierley, born 1878
Annie, born 1880

and possibly Ada born 1882 (from gro.gov but can't completely connect her, she is assumed)

Last thing I find of them is in 1881 in Liverpool where John is noted to be an unemployed Shipwright (ED, institution, or vessel 79, Piece 3669, Folio 120, Page number 25) at 56 Towson Street. 

If anyone can John, Margaret or the children after 1881 I would be grateful
