Please can someone decipher the remaining names on this 1846 marriage certificate for me?

Many thanks, both.  Now all I have to do is work out who they were in relation to the rest.

I'm having second thoughts about the Thomas (Thos) but I can't think of any other name that looks like it.

It's the upward stroke at the end of the Thos that bothered me, Gadget.  I wondered if it could be initials rather than a full christian name - possibly TW or something.  Still, if so it could still be Thomas.

Think one of the others might be Francis Lloyd . . . Just above Eliza.

Edit to add
I think it is Thos and the apparent up stroke is the down stroke of Curate - my thoughts anyway.

I was thinking of initials too, Helen.

If you've not found the relationships between the Lloyds have you considered something similar to one  that I had - a second marriage for the father and all his of his six  children signed!

Could be siblings as well.

I have quite a lot of information on the Lloyds and yes, Gadget, there was an earlier marriage though it was of the mother not the father.  Frances Lloyd was the bride's mother and Richard Lloyd, her father.  Susan Adelaide was a sister, but I don't know who Thomas Graves was, nor Thomas / TW Lloyd, nor Eliza Lloyd.  It is possible though that there was a half brother Thomas, and he may have taken his step father's name.  I know from details written on a baptism certificate that there are 2 male siblings missing from the family who are almost certainly half brothers to the rest. There was a sister, Eliza too, but she died aged 3, so I think this one might be Thomas's wife maybe.  I shall hunt with renewed enthusiasm!  Thanks again!
