When Ann married in 1859 she named her father as Maling Horsfield, labourer.
When Rachel Horsfield married in 1861 she named her father as Benjamin Horsfield, Farmer (ie her grandfather)

Many thanks for info. This lot seemed to play with there surnames. Just found Morgan Horsfield's 1920 probate...under Morgan Horsfield Ibbotson, New Laiths Brigholmlee Bradfield
Re: *******y Bond. Henry Swain(e) & Mary Horsfield
Very interesting story in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph 1875. It seems Rachel Horsfield after she married Benjamin Day in 1861 eloped with a John Fisher in 1875 and during a Court Case regarding the said John Fisher, Benjamin Day said he was not sure his first wife was dead before he married Rachel...so the Court Case had to look into Benjamin's posible Bigamy (Benjamin had married a Eliza Sanderson in 1864)
