You will find a summary of Licenses etc in the introductory pages of Report of the Royal Commission on the Laws of Marriage, 1868.The Registrar General's Annual or decennial reports also tabulated the numbers of the various forms at times, they are online on internet archive, google etc. Below is clipping I saved at one stage.
The Church of England's page gives contemporary information description on Licences vs Banns if scroll down to the sections https://www.churchofengland.org/life-events/your-church-wedding/just-engaged
A Licence or Certificate was a pre-requirement for marriage in Non-Conformist places of Worship eg where the attendance of a Registrar was required.
