Would someone be kind enough to check the following for me please, on the Surrey marriage records? I can see the bishop's transcript for London, but am unsure if the Surrey entry is different - could really do with an occupation for John if that is shown:

Name: John Powell
Spouse: Ann Hart
Marriage: 31 Jan 1820 - Thames Ditton St Mary, Surrey

Many thanks.

The images are identical - that's the second one today that I've found recorded in both Surrey and London.
