Hi Angela, It varies from session clerk to session clerk for the amount of information which they recorded, typically they usually don't include the parents of the bride & groom, however you may sometimes get the father's name of the bride, if your lucky. More often than not the names of the couples children are a good clue to the identify of their parents as are often the witnesses at the children's christenings, as these tended to be the Grandfather's of the child, if they were still alive.
