Does.the marriage say J or I ?

The only baptism I can see that fits for William is this

Register entry number 672
Baptism date 04 Jun 1815
Person forename William
Person sex M
Father forename Isaac
Mother forename Martha
Father surname WHITEHOUSE
Person abode Green
Father occupation Lockfiler

its just the transcript i haven't got the certificate

Groom father forename J
Groom father surname WHITEHOUSE
Groom father occupation Screwmaker

Freereg says J

Marriage Freereg
9th January 1844. St Peter, Wolverhampton.
William Whitehouse, FA, Boltmaker, Willenhall, J Whitehouse, Screwmaker

Might be worth checking.

The next baptism on Freereg is this

The marriage cert does look like I to me. that what i think as if you look at the examples of the vicar hand writing the I in isabella looks like what was transcribed as a J in J Whitehouse
