    Civil registration in England & Wales began in 1837. Before that, the parish registers gave rather less information, generally speaking. In Scotland the dates are different, because they have a different legal structure. I think it's 1855. But there should be information in our Wiki - perhaps on the Timeline?

    You might get a father's (or guardian's) name if the marriage had been by Licence (on the Licence document), especially if the person were a minor.
