Sandy- As Ellen stated, the 1890 Census is extremely limited. Another option, if you belong to a library, is to order the 1895 and 1905 Wisconsin State Census for Milwaukee County on microfilm, and manually search for your folks. If a library isn't readily available to you, you can order the same film through a local Family History Center. There is a rental charge for ordering through the FHC. If you are in Wisconsin, or better yet, the greater Milwaukee area, these films may already be available for free viewing. It looks like Martha married on Sep 16, 1896 in Milwaukee. That explains her. Then there's a marriage for a Frank Deja on Nov 26, 1900 in Manitowoc County and one for a Frank Deja on Sep 10, 1899 in Portage County. If either one is your Franz, that would explain his whereabouts for the 1900 census. By ordering Martha's marriage cert, you may get more answers and other variations of the surname DEJA.

Sandy, where did you find them in the 1900 census (under what spelling)? I saw a Michael and Anna Deja on Ancestry for 1910 and 1920, but not for 1900. I assume these are not your Michael and Anastasia? 1910: Michael Deja 58 Anna Deja 55 Laudislava Deja 21 Bernard Deja 18 Helen Deja 13 And again in 1920: Michail Deja 68 Anna Deja 64 Helen Deja 22 Expanding on what John wrote, it looks like Martha married someone named Frank Hegna.
