Looking for a marriage document for Hannah Nelson/James Richardson, Rowley, Massachusetts, that includes the names of her parents.  There were a couple Hannah Nelsons born in Rowley, Massachusetts ,,, 1693 (Nelson-5215) & 1694 (Nelson-4516).  Both profiles claim Joseph Richardson (two different profiles)... so, we need to clean this up ... the source in Nelson-4516 says it's her but that's not overly definitive.  Thanks.

Did not find the marriage record at famlysearch.org but the WikiTree profile for Nelson-4516 corresponds to the same parents as in the birth record.

It's on Ancestry behind the paywall so I'll give you as much information as I can. Apologies for the ridiculously long Ancestry link:

<ref>"Massachusetts, Compiled Marriages, 1633-1850," [http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc=TkT3&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&rank=1&gsfn=Hannah&gsln=Nelson&msbpn__ftp=Rowley,%20Essex,%20Province%20of%20Massachusetts%20Bay&msfng0=Philip&msfns0=Nelson&msmng0=Sarah&msmns0=Varnum&mssng0=Joseph&mssns0=Richardson&msbdy=1694&msddy=1735&geo_a=r&o_iid=41013&o_lid=41013&o_sch=Web%20Property&cp=12&cpxt=1&gss=angs-g&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&h=512328&recoff=7%208%2026%2027&dbid=7853&indiv=1&ml_rpos=2 ancestry], Hannah Nelson, Joseph Richardson, 3 Nov 1714, Rowley, Essex, Source: Family History Library, Salt Lake City, Utah, Film #0496782.</ref>

Is there anyone in SLC who can access the original to see if there is more info on it?

There is already marriage record already posted in the sources for Hannah Nelson Richardson  (Nelson-4516) which indicates that her father was Phillip Nelson.

Thank you for looking into this.

You know me ... can't see beyond my nose ... so, what's the URL link to this source?
I went into American Ancestors, Massachusetts : Vital Records, 1620-1850, Rowley Births, p. 142.  There are two Hannah Nelsons:

 

Hannah d. Thomas (jr., c.r.1) and Hannah, Dec. 17, 1693 and Hannah (Nellson, d. of Phillips and Sarah, Sept. 4, 1694.

Because there is a marriage record saying Hannah's father was Phillip, then we should accept that.  What I've discovered to be the Real problem is her husband.  I found a birth date for Joseph Richardson III which was 1714, the year when Hannah Nelson was married.  I think the Richardson and Chandler genealogies may have the wrong Joseph.
