Of course! . . . I thought Pelligrew was a bit unusual  ::)

Looking again at the scans I see that none of the tees appear to be crossed.

Hi Mike, Lesleyhannah and Isabel - Thanks a lot for the help.  That's fantastic - you've got better eyes than me!

Hi Vixen,

If you mean in the box directly next to "engine keeper" I'm sure it says witnesses.  It won't say "widower" for a parent on a marriage certificate as far as I know - only for the groom. I think if one of the parents are dead it simply says (deceased) - correct me if I'm wrong though!
