In England, you mean? Bride and grooms names. Ages - or may be just of full age (21 and over), their occupations, residence at time of marriage, both fathers names and occupations. Then you get the witnesses names which are sometimes also very useful. Order from GRO for £7 http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
