On 1861 census they have son Charles J hughes 1854
in
1881 39,Ouse street Toxteth D60 > 10
Charles James Hughes a labourer
Mary I Hughes born 1858 manchester.
Elizabeth 1877
Arthur 1880.

1891 Toxteh Park D57 > 28
Ellen Tarleton married born @ 1832 GARSTON as on 1861 for Ellen Hughes.
Mary Hughes daughter in law born MANCHESTER @ 1858 married (wihe of Charles James Hughes)
ARTHUR 1881 as on 1881 census
Ada 1883
Edith 1887
Frank 1888
Eleanor.

1881 11,Prophet St Toxteth.
William Tarleton 1831 a Carter.
Ellen 1832.
Ellen daughter 1870.

So this is them in 1871 Toxteth D34 > 58
Ellen Tarleton born Garston
Ellen 1868
Martha 1869
William 1858 (This looks like William H Hughes)
William Tarleton Father in law widow born 1801.

I think that the Ellen on that 1871 is quite a bit younger than Ellen Anderton/Hughes? Age is 30 on the original (unless she fibbed because husband was a toyboy?!)

TARLETON, William Head M 39 1832 Lancashire
TARLETON, Ellen Wife F 30 1841 Lancashire
TARLETON, Ellen Daughter F 3 1868 Lancashire
TARLETON, Martha Daughter F 2 1869 Lancashire
TARLETON, William Son M 13 1858 Lancashire
