Throughout the period of the births of my 5 x g grandmother's children, between 1792 and 1806 in Pembrokeshire, Wales, all the baptism records show her husband by his name and she by hers ie her maiden name, directly after his but as part of the same entry - they are clearly both the parents.  Entries for other people appear to be as one surname eg daughter/son of Fred and Freda Bloggs ie 'Freda' is known by her married name on the record. 

Is it unusual to have such entries in the baptism records and might it indicate that, despite the years spanned, they were not married (marriage record not found to date).

Thank you

It seems to point that way doesn't it especially if no marriage can be found.

Possibly a non-conformist, or foreign marriage? A marriage not recognized by the local clergy?
