I think Daisy is often a ‘Nick name’ of some one called Margaret/Marguerite as in Marguerite Daisy

If you look at John Bennett also a periwig maker (on the facing page) Jan 1746, other than having only 1 ‘g’ it looks very similar to Edward’s entry.

I believe “Mrs” for a single woman was used as a sign of respect. So either in a higher position in society, or perhaps not quite as high, but older in years. I would be inclined to err on her being older.
My attempt at the witnesses. Prepared to be shouted down.
Witness under John might be “Wm”
Looking at other entries, I think the vicar is Atcherley
Amended this because I misread Hannah (Hana)‘S signature as a witness. Idiot!
