So.............your grandfather.

The father of one of your parents.................which one?

Do you have his/her birth cert?

The surname of a female spouse on a marriage index is not necessarily her maiden name.

She could have been married before....................

Does the forename on the index match what you know of your grandmother?

It's also possible that the bride and groom were related, I've got a few instances of cousins and second cousins marrying (perfectly legal).

2nd Cousins?

As to the names on the MC. Anything is possible although in your instance, if they had been living together for a number of years, she may have taken her partners surname.

how common was it to record the wifes maiden name wrongly on the marriage cert
the only one I can find that could possibly be the one I want has the same surname for the groom and the bride... eg the brides .(.maiden name) is given as the grooms surname
do not want to spend to get cert if this is not likely to have happened
can anybody tell me if people have the same great grandparents what is their relationship .
I have seen charts on here to work it out but it is just being impossible for me to figure it out
I am stupid I know
