I have checked freebmd and there as you say no obvious matches. I have the marriage of Sarah and George in 1870 in Lincoln itself. She was Sarah Smith and it is the Smith line I am tracing. (Father John Smith !!!)

Yes in 1871 it is down as Sharpe so have checked that spelling also. She and her husband are next door to her parents in 1871
