You don't say under which jurisdictgion this MC was issued?

But at a guess I would think it is just a notation by whoever may have been transferring details from one record to another, for 'storage' ?

If it's UK, Stanmapstone may give you a better explanation.

What do you mean "marriage certificate"? Prior to 1837 there were only parish register entries.

Was this England or Scotland?

It could be to do with the Bishop's Transcripts, which are copies of the parish register, as Dawn says
a notation by whoever may have been transferring details from one record to another,

Thankyou Dawn and Stan . It has puzzled me for years, I thought it was somehow connected to the entry itself. Thankyou for solving this puzzle for me.                      Sue
