The index (on Free BMD) shows an Albert George Whitehead on the same page - clearly suggesting an alternative name for the same person. However, the PR entry does not show Whitehead as an alias, but does name his father as William George Whitehead.

There seems to be an error here, with Yvonne's mother's maiden name given instead of her maiden name, though it might not be an error - it might indicate that she was already living with James, as a Goatham, at the time of the marriage.
Although Yvonne's mother was a Goatham she was not closely related to James; James and Yvonne were 3rd cousins once removed through their common Goatham ancestry.
