Given the date they were probably professional witnesses such as church officials. You would need to view other images to check out if the names appear on any other marriage |

The County Records Office for Durham will have a copy of the parish register which should have witnesses names on it but as GlitterBaby has already pointed out they may just be church officials who act as witnesses for lots of marriages. You may get lucky though and find they are family members. |

Usually, witnesses weren't recorded until 1812-ish, when the pre-printed registers came into use. |
