Hi K86,
Have done a bit more digging today :
The Parents:
1) Samuel Street b.1842 Wirksworth, d.1888 age 46 Sheffield 9c 345.
2) Ann Catherine 'Kate' Gamble/Street - cannot find a death record. May have remarried? More likely that Kate also died, as the family breaks up by 1891...
The Children:
3) Polly Street b.1869 Sheffield, d.1887 age 18 Sheffield 9c 329.
4) James William Street b.1871 Sheffield (miner) is on his own in a lodging house in Trinity St in 1891. (He was either renamed or the enumerator gave him the wrong name of Fredk Wm in 1871).
James married Martha Annie Bellamy in 1891 and they had at least 5 children - Annie, Polly,Samuel, Alice, Lily. They lived Carlisle St.
5) Emma Elizabeth Street/Haycock b.1861 Wirksworth. We have her in 1881 and 1901, but no sign in 1891 and 1911. There is a death record for Emma Haycock d.1921 age 60 Eccleshall Bierlow 9c 430, which looks sensible.
Emma and Samuel:
We never see Emma and Samuel Haycock together. They are apart in 1881, as we saw above.
Samuel is a spring knife cutter, which tallies with the Samuel Haycock in Hollis Croft in 1891, and his subsequent appearances in 1901 (boarder, Matthew St.) and 1911 (boarder Tenter St). The 'other wife' - Sarah A. Haycock (plus two children) - in 1881 is a complete mystery !
Best wishes
