Here is the full MC of Richard Herridge & Amelia Robbins. Help with his profession and the Parish somewhere in Bradfield, Berks would assist me as well

Many thanks

I think the first name is James, First letter like the J of Jan in the date column. Or is it June?

Jen :)

Sorry, that reads like nonsense. I meant is the date Jan or June, not his name! ;D

Hi
 
To me it looks like the Parish of "Mortimer" and his occupation as "Servant".

Believe date is June as married in 2nd qtr of 1840

It looks to me like the date is June, the father's name is James, the residence is Mortimer, and the occupation is servant.

I would agree with you all but I just find Mortimer strange place to marry as her family come from Midgham/Bucklebury area and that they are living at the Pineapple PH Kingsclere, Hants on 1841 census which would make sense with the residence shown.
