Top and bottom do, I think. The middle one: maybe - it looks like the short form of William, Wm. but the York part looks similar.

Thanks, the 1st one is the marriage of my Mary York, I know nothing about her except she may have a relative William who was the witness.

I have a DNA match with a descendant of the 3rd marriage

I think they all look similar, particularly the 'Y' which is formed in an unusual way, and not like a capital letter, as would be expected.  The 'k' too is strangely formed - but more pronounced in the middle example.
