Used the following

Surname - Cook*
Forename: Alfred
Maiden Surname:
Maiden Forename: Harri*
and put in the year of 1885

Marriages Jun 1885 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLARK Harriet Reading 2c 639
>>>>>> Cook Alfred Reading 2c 639
Rose Heli Reading 2c 639
Woodley Harriet Reading 2c 639

His wife was either Harriet Clark or Harriet Woodley - you would need to order the marrige certificate to find out for sure which Harriet, Alfred married.
