Looking for Ann Tarleton
« on: Sunday 30 June 24 02:34 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone
I am looking for Ann Tarleton in Liverpool this is what I have so far;
Baptised 30th May 1836
1841 census with her father John Tarleton, step mother Eleanor and siblings Mary, Elizabeth and William.
1851 all together in the census
piece 2182
folio 499
page 1

I have no trace of her in 1861 but possibly missed it however then I have a bit of a puzzle.
In 1856 her sister Mary marries Edward Hassall and is on the transcripts as Mary A. Tarleton
1861 census she again uses Mary A and in 1862, now a widow she remarries using Mary Ann.
I wondered if perhaps Ann had passed away and Mary used it as a way of honouring her sister.
I have had a look on the GRO and find an Ann Talton died aged 18 in 1853 cause of death accidentally killed.
Is 2 and 2 making 5? I of course noticed the spelling difference but it does sound the same. Is there anyway I could find out more which may give me her father's name, would there have been an inquest for example.

many thanks

Could Mary have been born with a previous wife?  A sibling Henry Gordon Tarleton was baptised on the same day and he died in 1832

Mary Ellen Tarleton
Birth Date    Apr 1831
Baptism Date    6 Apr 1831
Baptism Place    Edge Hill, St Mary, Lancashire, England
John Tarleton
Mother Jane Ellen Tarleton

Added - Sadly she died aged 2 weeks old so the wrong Mary and family :-\

According to an Ancestry tree (not necessarily correct) John TARLETON was married to Elizabeth GOODE 5 Aug 1832 at Liverpool. They had a number of children, including Ann. John then married Eleanor OWENS on 2 April 1838 at Liverpool. The 1841 and 1851 census show John and Eleanor and family. (Children William and Elizabeth are not twins - just baptised on the same day.)

Can't see any newspaper accounts of a death of Ann TARLTON in 1853.

I can't either and thought the coroner listing accidental killing only three days after the death possibly meant it was unlikely there was an inquest  :-\

Thanks for the input everyone, with regard Mary being Elizabeth's illegitimate daughter then I think not, only 1 census gives her year of birth to be 1831, the rest are a little later, while 1881 is way off but wondered if perhaps it was misheard at the time.
Elizabeth died aged 25 in 1837, inflammation due to confinement.

I do have the other information given and should have included the baptism records sorry but wondered why Mary would have taken on the name Ann.
