I think the witnesses were possibly church wardens or some such thing rather than friends or relatives as their names appear on other marriage records too.

No such things as certs until 1837

Parish records will have ONLY the names of the couple, the witnesses and the celebrant. Plus the date of the marriage

Sorry Im not sure what a family search site is Shirley. I was hoping there would be a book somewhere with the details of the marriage in.
