Not sure James Minton has a signature in the second image. Looks like the curate wrote it all.

And mine!  Though the writing for Mary doesn't look quite the same. 

BUT if the curate didn't write it then I would say not the same man - very different  'J' and 'M' formations amongst many other things.

The Minton in the top line of image 2 looks closer than the lower line but comparing the letters with rest of the document (especially the m in married on the line below) makes me sure image 2 is all 1 handwriting.

I am not sure that the entire document 2 was written in the same hand. The names appear different. Nevertheless, the James Minton in 1 and 2 I think are different James Mintons.

Thank you everyone for your input.
I thought there were too many differences, but I was hoping.
