It isnt a possible, its a definate, as I have the names of the 5 children and they match your 5 names ! :-)

The info also confirms what I have from 1881 that Elizabeth Corlett ( Then a widow ) was living with her widowed mother Catherne Quirk and a few of the children.

I suppose this means that in 1871, John Corlett was at Sea , as his wife is listed as Sailors Wife and not widow ?, he must have died just after 1871 ?

Its all coming together :-)
