I have just found Esther also in Minnesota :
Esther Teare born Nov 1 , 1851 Bride IOM , Immigrated 1875 married William Chamberlain Oct 31, 1877 .
Seems like almost all the children of Thomas and Elizabeth Christian made it to Minnesota.
It seems almost 100% now that this is your John Teare
Enjoy the IOM when you get there , take the Ferry from Liverpool , don't fly !!
Cheers
David
