Can anyone please tell me how much information would be on a marriage certificate for the year 1794. The marriage took place in Kingsnorth Kent. UK

Hi,

Civil registration began in 1837 so there will only be an entry in the parish register.  Parish register entries for around 1794 usually just show details of bride and groom.

It will take the form of

John Smith of this parish bachelor
and Mary Brown of this parish spinster
were married in this church by banns or licence
(with the consent of ... if either were minors)
this twenty nineth day of July in the year 1794
by me Jos. Edwards Curate
This marriage was solemnized between us
John Smith (will sign his name or X his mark)
Mary Brown (will sign her name or X her mark)
in the presence of
Daniel Jones (will sign his name or X his mark)
John Davis (will sign his name or X his mark)

You don't get ages, occupation or fathers names until 1837 and the start of civil registration.
