Thank you both for your attempts.

I can see now 'his mark' and 'her mark', and I can see that 'Smith' is over written by 'her mark', so that's progress! :)

I have no idea what the two lines to the right of that is supposed to be.

It almost looks to me like "Scarlett Mills" but I have no idea why it would be something like that, unless it was place of residence? Is that normal on english certificates?

Hmmm...very odd, I agree.

In any event, Jacob and Emmy (as Emma) seem to have been straightforwardly KEELING in 1841, 1861 and 1871.  Have you found them in 1851?

Actually, I only have the 1841 census.
I am very interested in seeing anything that you have found. :D

No doubt you already have this extracted record from IGI, but this must be Jacob's baptism (consistent with 1861 census where he's 74 b Kingsclere):

JACOB KEELING

Baptised:  23 Dec 1787  
Kingsclere, Hampshire
 
Parents:  THOMAS KEELING & SARAH  

No weird names, at baptism at least!

I'm betting the vicar was new to the parish.  When I was young every village had its own dialect and I should think the accents were very broad in those days making life very difficult for an incomer.
