Marriage with different page numbers?

I have been searching for a marriage today after recieving a birth cert this morning. Parents on cert are Mary Jane Bumstead Formerly Fisher and Thomas Edward Bumstead. Child born 1867. I have found both of them marrying in the same quarter, same parish, same year but on different pages (using FreeBMD). Each of them is an entry with 3 names. Is it possible?

Mary Jane has been mistranscribed as the other two with her page number are in a different district. I guess the transcriber read the 8 as a 0. You could double check this by looking at the scan of the index page.

You don't quite agree with me actually Nana, I say both should be 687 as that's the Rotherhithe number :-)
