Maddie's already shown Fanny Elizabeth wasn't the bride in 1852?

Freebmd has a bride missing:

Marriages Jun 1852
Blayney Hannah Lewisham 1d 832 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Richmond George Thomas Lewisham 1d 832 <<<<<<<<<<<<<
Wells George Alfred Lewisham 1d 832

But there is an extra bride on this page, so looks like a 3 was read as a 5:

Marriages Jun 1852
Kerr Jane Lewisham 1d 852
Kerr Jane Newington 1d 852
Leslie Robert Lewisham 1d 852
Millard Eliza Lewisham 1d 852 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Kucinta.... good sleuthing! Maybe it is Eliza Millard... I will see if I can find
her in the 1851 census...

Can't take the credit, Maddie had already provided the info that it's either Eliza Millard or Hannah Blayney, who was the bride in 1852.

I'm still wondering whether the Walthamstow 1859 marriage Maddie posted is correct, and Fanny Elizabeth was actually G T's second wife?

I agree with Maggie, looks like two marriages?

Note in Sarah Ann Emma Richmond's baptism I posted earlier, mother was Eliza.

This child looks to be named for mother Fanny Elizabeth:

There is a bit of a gap in births, too:

Interestingly, the two elder daughters were living with their aunt in census 1871. Any chance this might indicate they were 'Eliza's' daughters, not Fanny Elizabeth's, and she was happy to palm them off?
