Unfortunately - marriage entries for that period contain very little really useful info which may help to advance your research. 
Fathers names were not shown on marriage entries prior to 1.7.1837 which is the date when Civil Registration was introduced.  Mothers names are never shown on English marriage certs

You can see the full transcription here  www.lan-opc.org.uk

This is the original image showing all available information. As CaroleW said marriage records from that time contain less information:-
