All these are tied up by reference to Vicars Notes 1857 :

624 Samuel Bridgewater brother to 562A and to Mrs Stokes at 653 married to Eliza sister to Thomas Harris at 623
562A is Charles Bridgewater m to Phoebe Unknown
653 is Benjamin Stokes m to Mary Unknown ( Thus Bridgewater) father to Emma Stokes who married George Grove
623 is Thomas Harris m to Mary Unknown ( Thus Eliza who married Samuel Bridgewater is Eliza Harris)

Some work to do but I think I can connect all these
