Does the 1841 census have Richard's occupation on it?

 

[DaveHam9]

Ummmmmm

I don't have that census, gibbo.

Book keeper
Inn keeper
sheep keeper

Think its the right family. Maybe someone could have a look and see what his occupation was and see if it matches to some degree with the occupation on the marriage cert.
