Confused over how is the groom

UK, England, Northumberland—Nonconformist Church Records, 1613–1920 [Part B][MSPF-WN4]

The name Patrick Healy pops up in two different marriage records. He can't be the groom in entry 9 so is he important?

Entry 2: Marriage between Dorothea Ainsley and ? Is the groom Thomas R Wright or Patrick Healy?

Entry 9: The name Patrick Healy pops up again, but isn't the groom. Who is he?

Thanks again for being so generous with your time and knowledge., Your help is greatly appreciated.

In England marriage registrations were indexed separately for bride and groom and by quarter. A few reciprocal searches on the possible spouses usually is enough to match the bride and groom.

Is this your couple?

Evidently there were two marriages in the York, Yorkshire registration district that quarter, grooms Thomas R Wright and Patrick Healy. If Dorothea Ainsley and Thomas R Wright are your couple you can simply ignore Patrick Healy.
