Rhoda is of the Parish of Walsale and a Widow.

I read original as "Walsale" - think it is "Walsall".

A marriage licence for a John Oberry and a Rhoda Meeson, both of Walsall and both of age "21 and upwards" was issued 18 Nov 1804.

As mentioned the FindMyPast marriage entry is a " ... transcript only (brief) ...". The info you are seeking not present on transcript.

Spotted 3 baptisms (Independent) to John and Rhoda at Walsall until 1813 - cannot spot a John Robery (or similar) death 'twixt 1813 and 18182.

Added - you can find the witnesses at Freereg

I was checking for the death of John Obery that rendered Rhoda a widow and led to the John Ellis marriage.
