They appear to have had a daughter Rebecca, born about that date, of whose baptism, no trace, who marries Joseph Dawkins in 1776. I suspect the witness, John Edney, is her father. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/62423/images/62423_48021001947_2508-00058?backlabel=ReturnSearchResults&queryId=d1726eeaea3dc205061c303960acad51&pId=90226253

On Christmas Day 1786, John Edney marries Sarah Edney. Witness Andrew Strugnell https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/62423/images/62423_48021001947_2508-00137?backlabel=ReturnSearchResults&queryId=20d4cbb99ece36dd741242f9001ecd9b&pId=90226489

I think the two Price girls married the same John Edney. I think that that John is the son of John and Elinor, bp February 1763. (Damage to the register means you cannot see the Christian name, but it ties up with age at burial) as Joseph Dawkins witnesses another Edney sibling marriage.
But what is that Christmas marriage? There only appears to be one Edney family in Titchfield. Is it John bp 1763 and Sarah Price reaffirming their marriage? Or a different couple entirely?
Please would you look at the signatures, and see what you think.
