I have a FamilySearch record for Stephen Fox m. Elizabeth Crapper at Wilton, Yorkshire on 4 April 1857 (Marriages Jun 1857; Crapper Elizabeth & Fox Stephen Wortley 9c 183).
At that time he was from Brown Hills lane area, Fulwood, Sheffield she from Stannington.
I cannot find a place called Wilton anywhere around. Can anyone work out where they were married?

Wow thanks Kay - that's the one. That was fast and the date is 10 April not 4 April.
There are 2 records on Family Search - the other one says Wilton and this is reproduced on findmypast.
Anyway got it now and you've introduced me to FreeReg which I haven't looked at for many years.

Though it seems Wilton is now redundant in this thread but for future reference it is just off Wortley road near Rotherham
