Does the marriage certificate of David give his father's occupation?

Looking for clues e.g. family names etc.

David & Elizabeth WHEELER - married in Walford, named their children

Mary Ann 1841, Henry 1843, Emily Sophia 1846, Jane Maria 1850, Sarah 1852, and Louisa 1855.

There is a marriage at Ross on Wye - 26 Dcember 1820 of a Thomas WHEELER Bachelor of this Parish and Maria BAGHEN - Widow of this Parish : witnesses: Elizabeth & Charles TOWNSEND

Using the advance search for children of Thomas & Maria WHEELER -

Thomas' occupation is a Blacksmith and the children are christened in different places

1821 - Mary Ann : parents Thomas & Maria - residence, Ross - Parish Chapel: Ruardean Congregational

so assume non-conformists at that time.....

next child is another

1823 - Maryanne - residence: By the Warrifield, Blacksmith - Parish Chapel, Walford
1824 - Thomas - residence: By the Warrifield, Blacksmith - Walford
1826 - Frederick - residence: Lidbrook, occupation: Smith - Parish Chapel, Drybrook ***
1830 - Harriet - residence: Lidbrook, occupation, Blacksmith - Parish Chapel, Walford
1832 - Edwin - residence: Lidbrook, occupation, Blacksmith - Walford
1836 - Isabella - residence: Lybrook, occupation, Blacksmith - Parish Chapel, Ruardean

*** need to check whether these children married : for example: Frederick Wheeler (father Thomas, Blacksmith) married in Newland, 24 April 1848 : Isabella married in Ross on Wye 1857
