I have ordered marriage certificates. The ones I have ordered have contained: For the bridegroom and bride - name; age; residence at time of marriage; place of birth; bachelor/spinster or widow; occupation or calling (bridegroom only); and full names of parents. Additional information - Name and residence of witnesses; date and place of marriage; by whom married; by license or banns; if by license, give number; name, description and residence of informant; when registered; and signature of clerk. I have found these to be most useful in yielding names of parents, although the early ones are handwritten, which often means trying to make out someone's writing. The other problem I have run into is in dealing with what must have been communication problems. Both of my Polish grandparents' names were spelled so differently than they really were that I had trouble even finding the registration. I hope this helps.
