It is unusual to see this information for men - usually if anything is shown about them it is their occupation, or possibly, especially where there was more than one in the parish "of ..." - indicating a hamlet, or an age. Normally were described in terms of their relationship to a man - single woman, 'wife of ...', widow. While it is a shame not to have occupation info. it's good to have this parity!

Father Ralph ROBINSON, b. Est 1705, d. Jan 1774, Old Buckenham, Norfolk, England
(Age ~ 69 years)
Other Partners: Mary BATLY m. Bef 1732; Ann WELLS m. 19 Sep 1732Mother Sarah CARMAN, b. Abt 1715, d. Jun 1782, Old Buckenham, Norfolk, England
(Age ~ 67 years) Married 21 Jul 1741 Holy Trinity Church, Hockham, Norfolk, England
- Hockham is a neighbouring parish to Larling, where Ralph and Sarah's children were baptised, and Shropham, where Ralph's first wife and son were buried adjoins both.
I suspect that the children Sarah had before marrying Ralph may well have been his (dates of baptisms mean they were almost certainly all conceived after the death of his first wife), but with no good evidence either way I am currently not showing them as such.
A Charles Robinson was buried in Larling in 1751 ('8br the 9th.' - i.e. October); I suspect this was a son of Ralph and Sarah for whom I have not found a baptism (they were having children baptised in Larling at this time, and their son John gave the name Charles to a son) or possibly another close relation e.g. Ralph's father or brother.
