Family of Henry Calkin

Calkin, Henry
Fifth of 7 children born to Samuel and Eliza
Seraphine Maker (1844).
Piano Forte Maker(1847-1854)
In the 1861 census Henry Calkin is the head of the only Calkin Family in Nottingham.
We know Henry was an instrument maker in London to 1854, so sometime between 1854 and 1861 he must
have moved with his family to Nottingham and started a Calkin conclave in that region.
The 1861 census has Henry with his wife and four children living at 217, Mount Street, Nottingham.
Henry's occupation is listed in the census as "Publican" and Eleanor as "Publican's Wife", but we don't
know the name of the pub ... at the moment.
Living with the family is a "house servant" named Jane Walker (b.1842) from Kemberly.

         Born: 09.12.1823 at ?

         Baptised: 04.01.1824 at St. Pancras

         Married: 25.12.1844 to Eleanor Carter at Hampstead

Calkin (nee Carter), Eleanor
Daughter of Charles Carter, Solicitor, who died c.1844.
In the 1861 census Eleanor is listed living with her husband above as a "Publican's Wife".
In the 1871 census Eleanor, 43, is living at Arkwright Street, St.Mary, Nottingham with children Oscar and Robert.
Her profession is listed as "Housekeeper" and her birthplace as Middlesex.
She has taken in three boarders.

There is an Eleanor who married in Nottingham in 12.1877, could it be this Eleanor re-marrying after her husband's death ?
