Manchester, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns.

I cropped this record down from the original record found at Ancestry.com and used a graphics program to underline specific words to make sure I understand each part of this record. 

• "of this parish" means they both attended that specific church
• they married in the chapel (not in the big part of the church where worship services were held)
• married by license (not by banns) 
• this was recorded with the year written out completely. 
• he is a Clothier 
• she is listed as spinster (a never before married woman)
• their ages at marriage are not listed
• listed is the name of the man who married them and the witnesses in this narrative format.
• this is Arthur and Sarah's Bishop's Transcript (a copy of the record sent to the Bishop of the Church of England) You'll want to look at that link because you will need your spectacles) (What is a Bishop's Transcript?)

Notice that this record and the parish register doesn't list parent's names like the Scotland records.
