When you enter the husband's full name and the wife's Christian name looking for her surname, and a range of dates (using an educated guess based on their age and age of eldest child) you get a number. Click on that number and you usually get a list of four names. From this you can usually work out the wife's maiden name.

Assuming there's two marriages, are these taken from the same place chronologically?

I wondered because I'm looking at a friends family tree and on Barnsley 9c 314 are a brother and sister. Double wedding? Or coincidence?

The registrar's entry books have space for two marriages per page, so you get four names. They could be the same day or consecutive days or a longer gap depending on how busy the place was. In the earlier years of civil registration there may even be three marriages per page. If it is a brother and sister then a double wedding is a strong possibility.
