They were the last stage of the process and given to the cleric performing the marriage ceremony. There was no requirement for him to keep the License. What does exist in some numbers are the Allegations (application) and Bonds (surety) that the groom was required to take out. These were given to the Archdeacon who then issued the License, and consequently have a much better chance of preservation than the latter. These are generally what can be found online and in county record offices. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
