Mary bp 27 Dec 1790 Cowfold

I see many people have attributed this marriage:
First name(s) James
Last name Burchfield
Name note -
Marriage year 1813
Marriage date 04 Feb 1813
Marriage place Slaugham
Spouse's first name(s) Mary
Spouse's last name Richardson
to James and Mary who died in 1841 and 1843 respectively aged 79 and 77. I think it's more likely they married in 1786 at Cuckfield and her maiden name was Ockenden. In 1841 Mary nee Ockenden (?) has Joseph Burchfield aged 30 in her household, and he seems to have been bap 1809, the son of James and Mary, so most likely nothing to do with the couple who married in 1813, unless that James Burchfield was a widower (perhaps you have something better than this transcript to determine that?).
Of course other than the 1813 marriage I've not found much to help and certainly have not found anything for a Mary Burchfield born about 1790, so the marriage may just be a red herring!
