You really need the marriage cert which will confirm their father's names and occupations, without these it is all speculation:
Amelia Thornsby
Year of Registration: 1860
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Sheffield
County: South Yorkshire, Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 383

On the same page is Robert William Taylor

The marriage cert will tell you the names and occupations of each of their fathers. With that info, searches will be based on fact, rather than speculation
