I take it you have taken the information from the IGI indexes online. Had a look myself and the marriage appears 7 times - 6 out of 7 have entered her surname as FOURTH - married 16 April 1778. I would say strong chance it is Fourth... Perhaps you might find the original marriage entry being held at the Norfolk records office (they were married in Grt Yarmouth). Try Googling and see if anything comes up. When I had a marriage entry for Bedminster 1812, I contacted the Bristol records office and I was able to purchase a copy of the entry from them, so it might be the same for Norfolk. Regards

Hello again... This might help - http://archives(.)norfolk.gov.uk/pratlist/nropraty.htm remove brackets and copy and paste into your search bar. It's the Norfolk Records Office list of Grt Yarmouth parish records held by them. Haha - just noticed in that address...'pratlist' - well, how rude! LOL
