FMP signature help

[Asa]

I'd appreciate a second opinion on this - 1754 Thomas Abbet marriage at Branscombe and 1786 John Abbott marriage at Shute. Is the groom's signature in 1754 the same as the witness' signature in 1786?

They look very different, but he could have learned to write better between the two dates.

Ah. I was thinking there were similarities. The m and a looked very alike to me. I did think that it might be a more confident hand of experience as you say. Thanks
