On this one there appears to be Four witnesses, but only two are readable, it is not the priest's writing and it is not the "her mark". I have never come across this before.

12/May/1845
Benjamin SHAKESPEAR, Full Age, Widower, Iron Worker, Brittell Lane, John SHAKESPEAR deceased, Engineer
Caroline BOWEN, Full Age, Widow, Hagley, Edward BROADFIELD deceased, Licensed Victualler
Wits Thomas PEARSALL, Ann BROADFIELD plus two unreadable

Odd then?

Thank you Spes!
