Although it is only circumstancial, here are a couple of entries I found in the 1901 Census: (http://www.census.pro.gov.uk/)

Lilian Teare 14 Lanc Manchester Cheshire Wheelock
Margaret Teare 58 Lanc Liverpool Cheshire Wheelock

There is a William listed in the same place, but I don't know if he fits the bill, which may obviate the usefullness of the rest of it, too...

William Teare 68 Lanc Liverpool Cheshire Wheelock - Innkeeper

I'll post it anyway since you invited guesses...

Cheers!
