From the Buckinghamshire Marriage Index

James French Griffin, a 25 year old labourer of Woverton married Leah Willias, a 25 year old Straw Bonnet Maker also from Wolverton, in Holy Trinity church, Wolverton 25 December 1846. Witnesses were George Watson and Margaret Holloway.
John's father was William Griffin, a Labourer and Leah's was John Willias a Shoemaker.

Further searching has produced

Baptism
Leah Willis 17 June 1825 Mursley parents John and Ann. John's occupation is Shoemaker

Marriage
John Willis, widower, to Ann Curtis 3 October 1819 in Mursley by Licence. Witnesses John Pollard and John Foster.

Therefore I'd guess the Willias in the marriage to John Griffin is a typo and should read Willis.
