With regards to the institution, I am not sure if she was one of the "unfortunate females" or whether she worked there.
In the 1851 census she is down as a servant.

The Victorians didn't mince their words when naming institutions did they?

I wonder if there are any records??

That would be an interesting read.

On the other hand, was Elizabeth Martha registered just as Martha :-\

Is there another mystery? :-\

Mother Elizabeth Tarleton, age 25, buried 23 Nov 1837, St Nicholas. Abode St Andrew Street
1st January 1838, the double baptism at St Peter of William and Elizabeth Martha. Abode Oakes Street.

John Tarleton remarried to Eleanor Owens, 2 April 1838, at St. Peter.
Residence for both Duckenfield Street

Many thanks for that burial information, I haven't seen that.

Thank you all so much for your input, if I'm honest I am at a loss where to go with this one and will have to perhaps keep the poor young Ann as a "maybe"

Browsing through Liverpool papers at around the right date I have found a report of the death of Ann Turton, inmate of the benevolent Institution, Wellington road, who fell down a well.
She was taken to the Southern and Toxteth Hospital (DC in initial post says South Hospital)
Paper published 3rd sept (saturday) it said she died previous sunday (which would be 28 Aug - so it fits except name a bit different.

Thank you so much for your time.

Just found the institution on the 1851 census, no Ann though, my Ann was with family in that census.
I realise there are a couple of years difference between the census and the death of Ann.

I can understand the temptation to clutch at straws I admit, I think I need to have another search for an Ann Tarleton and an Ann Talton to see if I can find them or even discover if they are indeed one and the same.

Hi
It is a difficult one. There were a few Ann Turtons about in the north of England of a similar age, so it certainly isn't certain that it was your Ann Tarleton who had that sad accident.

On the face of it she seems a slightly unlikely candidate, though on the other hand she has disappeared after the 1851 census.

I was minded to think maybe it wasn't her, but there is something...
Sorry to harp on about Elizabeth, but do you know what happened to her? I noticed from the free index on findmypast that there are some possible admissions for her to Liverpool workhouse. Of course it may not be her, but she would be a candidate.
They are also on FamilySearch

20 March 1856, Elizabeth Tarlton, 18, settlement Liverpool, Protestant, located Lock, discharged 7 April 1856, from Lock
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-QF2G-2

1 August 1856, Elizabeth Tarlton, 19, located Lock, discharged 9 August 1856, from Lock
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-QF5V-J

Two more in 1857, no longer in the lock ward
23 October, Elizabeth Tarleton, 19, located Class, discharged 30 October 1857, from Class
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-QFT6-J

Then top of the next page/image, and it seems she was readmitted the same day
30 October 1857, Elizabeth Tarleton, 19, located Class, discharged 11 November 1857, from Class

The thing is, the Lock wards in workhouses were for women with sexual diseases (sometimes there were wards for men as well)
So rather like the lock hospitals. Often associated with prostitutes :(

Sorry if I've missed it, but have John &/or Eleanor been found after 1851?

I've just found them in 1861!

But I can't see them in 1871.

I've now found them in West Derby in 1871.  They seem a respectable couple ???  John was in work.

They have a grandson called Alfred Dixon living with them - whose son is he?

Hants - SMALL, HAMMERTON, GRIST, FRYER, TRODD, DAGWELL, PARKER, WOODFORD, CROUTEAR, BECK, BENDELL, KEEPING, HARDING, BULL
Kent - BAYLY, BORER, MITCHELL, PLANE, VERNON, FARRANCE, CHAPMAN, MEDHURST, LOMAX, WYATT, IDEN
Devon - TOPE, BICKFORD, FOSTER
YKS - QUIRK, McGUIRE, BENN

I think he may be Alfred Owen Dixon. Mother's m n Owen b1868

There is a marriage of a John Dixon in W Derby district Q3 1866. One of the brides is Mary Owen.

Or possibly 1867 Thomas Dixon, one of brides is Elizabeth Owen

Found the marriage of above, doesn't seem to match

Changed again!
Forget all above. Finally managed to sort out census page
John, Eleanor and a servant are at the bottom of a page,.
Alfred Dixon is at the top of the same page. He is the grandson of a Mary Owen (on previous page)
Different household - just co-incidence with Eleanor's maiden name


Berks / Oxon: Eltham, Annetts, Wiltshire (surname not county), Hawkins, Pembroke, Partridge
Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge
Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt
Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)
Jersey: Fowler, Huelin, Scott
