I wondered if the apparent 'tail' on the G belonged to the name underneath.  Does the surname begin with an ornate H.  The first name ....I thought at first Rich but the first letter is also ornate

There is another example of the last signature on the wedding of James Vincent on December 10th and the one before it.  He is probably a church 'person'  ;D

Hust  :-\

I thought it might be Hind or Hurst

(Think we both agreed on Rich at the same time, Rosie  ;D  )

There is a marriage on the next page with a marriage of a Robert Hunt - Rich Hust is a witness.  The signature is clearer

Thank you for clarifying he is the parish clerk Richard  ;D
