In my tree I have Louisa Williams born 1845 Portsea Hampshire, married to Albert Edward Stonham 10/9/1867. I found this in the Parish Records. However on Family Search there is a Lavinia Williams who seemingly married the same person on the same day. Thought it was a duplication but Lavinia was born in Hastings and has a different father. I wonder if the original records have been misread? Can you help on this matter.

What's the link to this family Search record?
What type is it?
Lavinia + A E Stonham is supported by a newspaper entry.

Throw in the banns, and Lavinia's name a bit clearer

In 1851, a Louisa Williams, 6, born Portsmouth, in Hove, Sussex
Father is also James. She is not the youngest daughter!

A family tree on FamilySearch has her married to Mr Stonham

Whilst later census returns say that Lavina Stonham, wife of Albert, was born in Fairlight, Sussex.

Many thanks for your replies. It is looking like that Lavinia is the name. However I went on Free UK Genealogy and their transcript gives her forename as Louisa.
