Markanday fired in a low shot which was saved by Jordan Wright before Chesterfield took the lead in the 27th minute.
The goal came when Berry whipped in a low free-kick from wide on the left-hand side and the ball went under Wright.
Markanday put Chesterfield further ahead in time added on at the end of the half, converting from six yards after the defence failed to clear.
Vernam reduced the arrears five minutes into the second half, firing into the roof of the net after a driving run from midfield.
Chesterfield were reduced to 10 men when Oldaker was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the 67th minute but they held on.
