1879 marriage Edward CHEW / Elizabeth MAJOR

[Geoff Chew]

If anyone is in a position to look up this marriage or offer advice, I'd be very grateful. The problem is that it seems to have been registered twice in the General Register Office index, and I don't understand why:

1879 Sept quarter, Axminster district, vol. 5b p. 17: Edward CHEW / Elizabeth MAJOR

1879 March quarter, Exeter district, vol. 5b p. 121: Edward Neville CHEW / Elizabeth MAJOR

I can't be absolutely certain (without buying the certificates, which I may in the end have to do) that this is the same couple, but it seems likely.
They are running the George Inn at Seaton and Beer, Axminster, in the 1881 census (RG11 piece 2130 folio 52 page 21): Edward aged 27, born Tetbury, Gloucs.; Elizabeth aged 26, born Seaton, Devon; no children.
They aren't my own line, but I'm working through the CHEW marriages for the sake of a CHEW one-name study. For this reason I'm trying to economize on certificates.

Any help will be much appreciated.
