Thanks so much for all the responses, really appreciate the help!  Looks like it's a mistranscription of Brickendon then.  :)

Not so much a mistranscription as a variation in spelling, typical of the time.

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

It's extremely helpful, thank you Dobfarm.

Although the term originates a long time before the record in question, that Hertford was referred to as a Villa fits perfectly with our record.  It looks as though the London clergyman was being precise in his choice of words.

Villa reg  - Is also found in some  parish registers (more 16/17th century but odd one on 18th century to pre 1812 registers on landed gentry estates admin shortened to Vill. (Sometimes thought 'of village' but if found the person of the event was a tenant farmer out in the country = 'of estate' Vill.)

Thank you, but I disagree.  ;)

It was Horseleydown and Dob who did the reading and interpreting of the text which answered the original question.  :)
