It's certainly not unknown for children who were illegitimate and brought up by grandparents to name a grandfather as "father" when they married.

My 3 xgreatgrandmother put down her grandfather's name for her father on her marriage certificate. Took me a few years to realize this and I could not connect her to the family. Her mother was the daughter of her grandfather.
I finally found her baptism records by checking out all the birth places she had listed on the census record.
So it is possible that Joseph is her grandfather and she did not know the name of her own father.
cheers

Hi 
I presume you think Jane is the daughter of William VICKERS, christened 25 March 1798, Thornthwaite, parents Joseph Vickers and Mary GAITSKEL?
Other siblings of William are;
John, 26 April 1795
Betty, 29 December 1796
Mary, 1 January 1805
I would think she is possibly the illegitimate daughter of Betty born 1796.
I agree with everyone that she probably put her Grandfathers name as her Father on marriage cert.

For some reason it repeated, so I've deleted it.
It does look as if she was Grandaughter though.

Hi
Thornthwaite go back to 18C, including on the IGI.
See Example.
[Modified: It won't let me give the example, but searching for Vickers in Cumberland will give many before 1800 and clicking on a name will give batch numbers.]
Baptisms start 1775, marriages 1842 and burials 1891.
familysearch.org
Igi seems to start about the same date.
