Ooh, thanks for that.  I don't suppose the witness with the surname VAN could be VASS could it?

[suffolk*sue]

Very possibly I couldn't really make it out but deffo began with V. Would the name Vass link in somewhere?

[1dylan1]

Yes it would, I found a George Sadler married to an Annie Govus, Annie later married Sydney George Vass, they went on to have more children one of which was a daughter named Mabel which would have been Florence's stepsister (M Vass)

This is all from someone else's tree but could be worth a look and some confirmation based on what you found in the parish records.

[suffolk*sue]

Yes on a second look I can see its Vass. I think its an M but the ink is smudged slightly.

Thankyou for that, I know where to concentrate my next stage of the search.
