The same thing is written on the next marriage too - no easier to make out what it is though!
Many thanks

It was a regional occupation. was it a glove-making area?

Same occupation from another page in the registry - maybe Gloveress?

Agree with gloveress.
One branch of my in-law ancestors were glovers and gloveresses. The lived in and around Worcester, which I believe was once a glove-making area.

Yes, there's a hotel in Worcester that was once a glove factory. https://www.instantstreetview.com/@52.189645,-2.217738,127.01h,5.08p,1.52z
Gloveress was also a common occupation in the villages of south Worcestershire.

Common occupation for some of mine too in Yeovil Somerset area.
