Possible discrepancy about who Father is.

The reference listed below lists Sarah Holt as daughter of JOHN Holt baptized 25 Sep 1720, which would make her 18 at her marriage and Abraham significantly older (about 25 years older). While this isn't unheard of, we don't know for sure that this is the same Sarah Holt, since the marriage record doesn't list her father's name.

There is also a Sarah Holt in this record, which lists her as the daughter of JAMES Holt (as opposed to John): "England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NPXR-S2J : 30 December 2014), Sarah Holt, 09 Jul 1703; citing SAINT MICHAEL,ASHTON UNDER LYNE,LANCASHIRE,ENGLAND, reference ; FHL microfilm 0844813 IT 2.

Name Sarah Holt

Gender Female

Birth Date 09 Jul 1703

Birthplace SAINT MICHAEL,ASHTON UNDER LYNE,LANCASHIRE,ENGLAND

Father's Name James Holt

The birthdate of 1703 wouldn't be out of line for marrying Abraham born in 1695, however, it would be a rather older Sarah to marry Abraham in 1738 (when she was 35 years old, which is a little older for a woman to get married in this time, but not impossible)

The problem is that the marriage record isn't specific enough to say with any certainty which of these two Sarah Holt's married Abraham Marland and I'm not sure we can assign her father's name with any confidence without additional sources.
