There's a marriage on 12 July 1779 in All Saints, Clayton West with High Hoyland; the groom is Richard Hampshire.
The bride's name is given as Elizabeth Dalton twice in the opening lines of the record but, next to where she signs with an X, her name is written as Sarah Dalton. This could be a simple mistake on the vicar's part - the bride couldn't read what he wrote - but it's still odd since the her name is written as Elizabeth, twice, just a few lines above.
Could the two parts of the document, with different names, have been written at different times? If so, which name is the more likely? If not, is it just an odd mistake? I'd be very grateful for any comments. (My apologies for having posted a similar enquiry a few days ago, with a less descriptive subject line that elicited no replies.)
