John STOKES 23 bach Portway Collier - Father James STOKES Lab
Jane BIRK 22 spin Portway - Father Robert BIRK Lab
Wit: John SHAKESPEARE/Jemima SIMPSON

Notes Groom, Bride & both Witnesses sign X

Ah! The above John Stokes is a collier so this looks like the correct couple -

We can rule out the Stokes/Yates marriage on another thread, so I have added them separately
