It is possible the vicar/curate made the mistake as you say.
There is a marriage (by Banns) of Henri Gibbins to Tomasine at the foot of the same page on October 28.
Possibly he remembered the name from the banns (jumping at straws here for a possible explanation)

Not so much another set of eyes David but the result of a lifetime of searching in parish registers.
I got into the habit of checking many pages either side of the records I was seeking as family names often cropped up. In later marriages family members may appear as witnesses to unconnected people, possibly because they were at the church for their banns to be read etc.

Before we had the luxury of on line access to records researchers would browse through pages and pages of microfiche images or in earlier days the registers themselves to find a specific event, as we did with the census.
It is one of the drawbacks of the instant access on line provision that browsing records is seldom done these days.
For instance I was browsing a page that I had accessed yesterday and I came across the entry of a burial of a vagrant from Yorkshire who was travelling to London with a pass but had died and been buried in Lincolnshire.
It is these entries that give additional details that are the attraction of parish registers to me.
