Thanks Kurt, I'm almost there now. I have created a "Bride's Father" role and the sentence reads "[Ondate] his daughter [WifeFirstName]'s marriage certificate said he was" and I will add "a labourer" via the notes as you suggested.
However, I tested this with the marriage between Joseph Doyle and Ellen Carey so I expected [WifeFirstName] to become "Ellen". The actual sentence reads "On 21 Aug 1904 his daughter John's marriage certificate said he was These are the shared event notes." I gather that the event notes bit is a known bug, but I don't know why Ellen's name has become John. I don't have any wives named John in my tree. Something odd has now happened. I saved the shared event and then edited it again and now the sentence reads "On 21 Aug 1904 his daughter Archibald's marriage certificate said he was a labourer." Interestingly, his name is Archibald - but he still wasn't anyone's wife.
