Its hit and miss with PR,,,,,some can give such as,,,,,,,,,Son of John,,,,,,,,or just groom&brides name and date,,some can be more detailed,,,,,,

Usually PR will be at a local Library on film or Fiche .or Record Office/Archive ,,,or lots of area family history societies have them,

The IGI can be used also which is online,,,,,at,
*FamilySearch.org*again hit and miss,,,,,,,,,and should not be used as concrete evidence,,,,,,,,,always seek the actual entry from the PR's

PR wont tell you where they were born...but often have --of this parish,,but that doesnt confirm they were born there only they lived there,

Hope this has helped,
