That's strange, Sue - have you seen there is another marriage between William Mathews and Esther Hodges? 23 March 1818 at Camberwell St Giles, widower and spinster, the signatures match the other one, but this one is by Banns and it doesn't mention her being a minor. Witnesses Richd Rickwood (or Rickword?) and Sophia Taylor. Groom's surname is given as Mathews (with one t) at the top of the entry but his signature says Matthews.
