I was curious as to the "why" some tidesmen were "extraordinary", so I'm just posting a clip of the middle of a long explanation from the Dublin Daily Express, dated 10 August 1910 in case others are as curious as I am!
Although the paper is from 1910, the article was "looking back in time" at the old occupation of tidesmen.
Maybe Eleanor moved house in the 7 months between John's death and Eleanor being granted probate. We shouldn't just assume they were living apart
Hi there
You can get it from here

While I am not confident it will help, there is nothing much to lose.
There seem to be some newspaper stories about John Tarleton in later life as a marine store dealer (Little Woolton Street / Eustace Street).
1867, charged and then acquitted of receiving 105 pounds weight of lead
1869, mention of a quantity of sheet lead of a somewhat peculiar kind found at his store?
And around the time of his death in 1875, Sarah Egerton charged with stealing wearing apparel, etc, at Eustace Street.
What happened to Eleanor?

You can get it digitally from the probate service for just £1.50.
Hopefully you will get a will. Even so, John may just leave everything to Eleanor. Worth a go though!
