hello; I don't know just when they started the RETURN of SERVICE items on marriages BUT.... There are now and normaly 3 items to ask for reference to marriages. Due to the fact that some people have applied for a marrage licence and never picked it up so had most likely dropped it or changed their minds. Also the second item is the copy of the ZLicence issued. 3rd is the RETURN of Service which is what the Judge or preacher whoever performed the actual cerimony of marriage has to send back to where the Applicvation and Certificate were issued from to complete the Marriage records. The last one can have names of parents, names of persons who stood up for them, the address of both parties, Place where cerimony was performed,, and also may have other imformation. Soem places ( court houses) have put this imfo in a large book when opende up takes up bothe the left side and the right side showing when the book is opened. You need to ask for all ythree of these items.

You can verify the marriage date at the courthouse in Winchester. I would recommend checking the marriage "application", and not just the license.
