It's Marriage License Index 1885-1916 from Orphans' Court Philadelphia. Presumably Ellen (or William) was an orphan.

So from that INDEX,  what is actually recorded on the actual document that that actual index is actually pointing to?

Indexes are not actually records, but are good for aiding your own efforts at looking up.   Indexes are not just a tool for family history.   Indexes pre-date the internet.

Luke.
It is Rootschat policy that we don’t post names of living people. Just go to modify on the post and you can amend it.

Great though that you have found someone. :)
