Looking at your posted image and bearing in mind your original question I cannot answer precisely but it did ring a bell.
I looked at my old Corlett “One Name Study” files which include the original images of the 1871 I.O.M. census as enumerated for the Parish of Lezayre-Ramsey-ref RG10-5773-427-112.
My late wife Dorothy nee Corlett was delivered by a local Midwife/District Nurse in Shipyard Road Ramsey and I last walked along it during May 2019 so know it well.
You know that the residents on that Sunday night in 1871 included both male and female children mostly from Ramsey however the school served a wider area mainly adjoining Northern Parishes.
Names are not always written correctly/fully, estimated year of birth, transcriptions and the internet often distort!
Eleanor Corlett aged 8 was Elinor Jane Corlett the daughter of John Corlett of Ballaugh and Jane-Jane was a widow!
Thomas Corlett aged 5 was Thomas Edward Corlett the son of Daniel Corlett and Elizabeth
Daniel Corlett of Ballaugh was based in Ramsey and a Master Mariner away a lot-he died elsewhere in 1891.
Elizabeth who had married as a minor was of limited means and with a brood-she died aged 41 in 1769 in Ry.
The children became scattered some staying, marrying etc. one ended up in Cheshire through Liverpool.
The bright side was most survived-T.E. dying as just Thomas a widower and E.J. as Ellen Jane and married.
It should also be noted that emigrants of all ages have been known to change their names enroute.
