This is exactly what has happened here( and in others).The surname on the
marriage entry was clear as REX.
The IGI is purely a guide and one source for finding names for baptisms &
marriages.
Food for thought as although a very helpful guide always have at least 2
sourcees to double check information .
Linda and Tony

Hi Glenys:

William REX may also have been mistranscribed on the IGI. Linda and
Tony have been very helpful to me personally in the past with marriage
register entries at St. Mary's, Portsea, for which thanks very much!
However, it seems you have already heard from them that it was indeed
William REX.
