A little clarification:

They married in Sheffield in 1855 ('WHEATCRAFT')

The 'Tapton' is the one in Chesterfield rather than the one in Sheffield.

In 1881 Sarah is at piece 3434 folio 28 page 5 (the Ancestry index points at the wrong page - two before this). Sarah is head of household, listed as married. Two children.

The Martin who died in 1890 in Sheffield was in Ecclesall in 1871, a groom and gardener born in Ashover. He is buried in the General Cemetery ('WHEATCOFT')
