Was the groom able to sign? If he also made a mark maybe the bride did not want to "show him up". Also: in what sort of a school did the schoolmaster teach? Not everyone of his profession would at that time have supported an "academic" education for girls. He may have felt that to be able to read (the Bible of course) and sew well was all the education his daughter needed. Most parishes used printed registers from 1754 with predefined forms.
