This new collection of transcriptions names the bride and groom, specifies the date and place of the marriage, and also names all the signers of the certificate. There are also page number citations to the original records which are available on microfilm, and an index.

The certificate is autographed by Bringhurst and Matern, as well as 44 Quaker men and 26 Quaker women who witnessed the wedding. Among the witnesses are several prominent printers and publishers of London and notable figures in Quaker history, including Andrew Sowle, successor of Bringhurst as printer of Quaker publications; Tace Sowle, daughter of Andrew and successor to his printing business; William Bradford, printer in colonial Pennsylvania and New York; and George Keith, a Quaker missionary who gained prominence in the Jersey provinces and Philadelphia area and later broke with the Quakers to establish a short-lived sect known as the Christian Quakers.
