I came across this in 1841. The image is very very faint, but the last word on Jeremiah's occupation could be sailor. His wife's name is unreadable and so may or may not be Hannah as transcribed.

This one looks more likely if the 1851 that Chrisa found is correct. Again, image not clear enough to see Jeremiah's occupation. Name could read Firkin though.
