Yes, I think the 'ego' will be the vicar, who I think is Bromehead?? There was a Bromehead vicar at Eckington I remember, though probably much later. so I guess the incumbent is saying "I and mistress so-and-so are godparents." She's not necessarily a "Lady" in the aristocratic sense, but probably someone reasonably well-off? Do the baptism pages show other entries of godparents' names? Also at Eckington, if memory serves, in the early register/s, all godparents were listed. It's astonishing to see how tightly kinitted the families in parishes were by godparenting as well as the links we usually think of first, ie. marriage, religion, occupation, class.
