Usually two female surnames in a marriage entry means the woman had been married before but there can be other reasons:

•Remarriage. Where the lady is remarrying and both her maiden name and former married name are on the entry in the register, then both are listed in the indexes. It is not possible to tell from the indexes which is the maiden name.
•Change of name. Some entries in the register show alternative names for both firstnames and surnames. All will be listed in the indexes.
•Poor writing. Where the original handwriting in the register is unclear all possible interpretations are listed in the indexes.
•Parent's surname differs from child's. For example, if a child is raised by the mother without the father being present, he or she may have taken the mother's surname, so when the parent's surname differs on the entry in the register, both surnames may be used in the index.
•Difference between the name as entered by the registrar and the name as signed.
•Alias names (also known as / formerly known as).
•Hyphenated surnames may be listed as both names and/or each name separately

It might be worth getting the 1949 marriage cert and the 1932 birth cert to see what father's names are on them.

Possibly Margaret's parents weren't married and her mother lied on the birth reg.

Burnley Express - Saturday 22 July 1950

Ernest Hoyle of 334 Cog Lane, Burnley and Richard Wadsworth of 54 Elizabeth Street, Nelson were each fined £3 by Burnley Magistrates on Wednesday and ordered to pay £1 9s 9d costs each for assaulting James Gregson of 30 Springfield Road, Burnley.

For assaulting Mrs Margaret Alice Gregson, Hoyle was fined £5 with £3 3s doctors fee...

Don't know if this is coincidence or not, but searching Ernest Hoyle's address in the newspapers (334 Cog Lane) I also came across an article of an Arthur Alexander Hoyle lodging at the same address in 1946. Arthur was stated to be 22.

I couldn't find a 1924 birth for Arthur Alexander (there is a death confirming a 1924 birth)- but there is an Arthur Hoyle born 1924 Burnley (mm HARTLEY) and an Ernest Hoyle born 1927 (mm HARTLEY).

I don't know if it's connected, but will leave up just in case.

Ok ann bc father Ernest hoyle mother margaret Wadsworth formallly hartley says ernests occupation but I cant read it
