It is a curious one indeed. I see from your previous message that a James Attrill did marry a Martha Scudamore so I wonder if the transcriber has put the two surnames around the wrong way ?
Also I wonder if James and Martha were divorced and then James married Ann Bartlett ?

I wondered this too. But the main GRO index duplicates the entry as John Scudemore. The other one came from the IOW BMD index.
Divorce was very uncommon at that time - it needed a private Act of Parliament and cost a lot of money, so I think divorce is unlikely in this instance.
I visited the Isle of Wight in Spetember and had a look around Whitwell churchyard and found the graves of Mark and Jane and several of their children. The most surprising one was for Osmund Attrill who I had alway assumed had been the one to marry Martha Morris. Osmund died on Mar 12th 1821 aged 2 years.
Here are the details of what I could read from the graves I found, the gravestones were very worn and difficult to read. I also have photographs of them if anyone would like them
