This is the marriage you refer to but it does does not show fathers names, dob, or place of birth.
It might have more detail on the parish record which you would need to view.

Pre-civil registration in 1837, marriage records weren't as detailed. They'd give names of bride and groom, which parish(es) they lived in at the time of the marriage, if either was under 21 and whether the marriage was by banns or licence. The witnesses are included and often turn out to be family members.
If you want to trace further back, and find the baptisms, you'd need to start with the parish where they married and trawl through the baptism registers and then move on to nearby parishes, if you can't find anything on FamilySearch.org - Family History and Genealogy Records or freereg.
you might be interested in these marriage records which may be another line to research and see if they turn up family info
