This record set has transcriptions (no images) of more than 11,500 entries between 1839 and 1880.

Details provided include the names of witnesses (marriages) and sponsors (baptisms), often family members. All of these people can be searched for, by surname, using the 'What Else' search-box.

Here are a couple of results from quick searches:
