How common is it to find spouses with the same sunames, ie a marriage index entry such as: Bloggs, Mary Bloggs Burneley 8 e 1624 I've found at least three on the same page. (Sharpes and Sharples - not Smiths, Jones or Browns, etc.) Thanks, Pat.

I expect we have all come across this before. Whether it is an original typo or these persons were actually given their surname as a second forename seems uncertain.
