Hi, A marriage certificate will show the Christian,surname and occupation of the fathers of the bride and groom. It will also give the names of four witnesses, usually the fathers again but the other two are often members of the family which can be useful.

Scottish Marriage certificates will also show the Christian and Maiden name of the brides mother. There will be names of two witnesses and sometimes addresses.
