First of all, you need to look at the actual record. People who transcribe this information make errors sometimes, so the actual record may be different from the information listed here.

This record is great, but you will need to do some double checking. If you go and look at the original record, I would be pretty certain that the names, the marriage and the marriage date and place are correct, but there is - of course - always room for error.

What's on your side is that this information is a marriage record, so it was most likely provided by the people listed in the record themselves. Unless they had any reason to lie (and people sometimes did!) then it's most likely true to the best of their knowledge. People still sometimes get information wrong, so it's always best to verify. But this record is full of information and clues so have fun with it!

For more info, I suggest you check out the book Genealogical Proof Standard and read about building a solid case.
