Lord Rose's Act was passed in July 1812 and came into effect 31/12/1812.
It specified the use of pre-printed baptismal, marriage and burial registers.
Before that, the info recorded seems to be pretty much up to each individual vicar, although a (very) few did use similar pre-printed registers.
My guess is there won't be any extra info in the original 1811 record beyond the groom/bride names and date, except maybe the parish they were from.

If either of the couple had a later marriage after 1837 you might get the father's name that way.

Banns of marriage will sometimes show the parish where the man or woman are resident. This may or may not be the place of birth.
