William Steeples Apr-May-Jun 1859 Derby Derbyshire
Sarah Wheeldon Apr-May-Jun 1859 Derby Derbyshire

Look for his marriage on freebmd...............if you're sure he's the right person.

He was late starting a family if he was still single at the age of 50

If one of his children is your line, you should know the mother's first name, at least
