Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
LANCASTER George BOARDMAN Annie Pendlebury St John Salford C15/2/122

Anastasia married Thomas Oddie in 1932, so possibly a relation of the witness.
ADDED on second thoughts, she was known as Annie on the census - so probably the same person.
