Another surname question

In this batch,

UK, England, Northumberland—Nonconformist Church Records, 1613–1920 [Part B][MSP9-YM6] ,

there is a marriage record in the margin of the baptism record of Matthaeus Joseph Malone, entry 5. In the baptismal record, both parents would be given the surname of the child because neither one has a surname listed (as per the field help for the surname of the child) [or, by the way, is the maiden name of the mother counted as the sole surname of the mother? and therefore the father gets a blank in his surname field?].

In any case, about the marriage record. Since it is a marriage record and not a birth record, can I presume that the directive for the "child's name" in the baptismal record does not apply for the parents' surnames in the marriage record, and therefore, their surnames would be BLANK?

So, is it correct that the BAPTISM RECORD should be indexed:

Child's given name: Matthaeus Joseph

Child's surname: Malone

Father's given name: Joannes

Father's surname: Malone? or Blank?

Mother's given name: Mariae

Mother's surname: Tamney Malone? or just Tamney?

And, is it correct that the MARRIAGE RECORD should be indexed:

Groom's given name: Matthaeus Joseph

Groom's surname: Malone

Groom's Father's given name: Joannes

Groom's Father's surname: Blank

Groom's Mother's given name: Mariae

Groom's Mother's surname: Tamney

    Correct. Just as you have done (in my opinion - you have followed the Project Instructions):

     BAPTISM RECORD index:

    Child's given name: Matthaeus Joseph

    Child's surname: Malone

    Father's given name: Joannes

    Father's surname: Malone

    Mother's given name: Mariae

    Mother's surname: Tamney Malone

    it is correct that the MARRIAGE RECORD should be indexed:

    Groom's given name: Matthaeus Joseph

    Groom's surname: Malone

    Groom's Father's given name: Joannes

    Groom's Father's surname: Blank

    Groom's Mother's given name: Mariae

    Groom's Mother's surname: Tamney
