I found the marriage on Pallots , looking at image it seems to be shortened for Esther , maybe someone can say what they think .

Yes Chris.

It does look like 'Esth.' with an elongated letter 's'.

There is a birth on the IGI [this is an extracted record] for a Thomas Grainger b 3/5/1805 ch 7/7/1805 at old church St pancras London. Parents Thomas Grainger & Jane -------? Not that I know London well - but it cannot be too far from Islington . There are a lot of Thomas Grainger's on the IGI

This person signs most of the entries as a witness so may be connected to the church, a Warden?
