In 1881 there's a John L Smith b 1860 Gateshead, a stoker in the RN. There's no birth reg for a John L Smith in Gateshead at the right date. Trouble is, Smith isn't a name you can rely on to tie information together successfully!
I agree, if there was more than one surname used at the wedding in 1883 then there should be more than one index entry. I was stuck with Mrs Elizabeth Burgess too.
