Notes on transcription

• Maiden name clarification. This record again lists Ann's father as William Hodgson, labourer — matching the 1850 marriage record and the baptism of her son Thomas (as "Hudgeon"), though it conflicts with the "William Hutchinson" recorded at her 1855 marriage.
• Both Henry and Ann signed with a mark (X), indicating they were likely unable to write their names.
• The marriage was performed by Thomas Howard, Vicar of Lezayre.
