On FreeReg, I found this along with others. This is quite exciting, as they appear to be my ancestor. (Really quite sure of it!) However I cannot figure out how to determine the original source. Can anyone tell me how to use this record to obtain the primary or secondary source it came from? ThanKs!

My understanding is that data is taken from PR's,suggest you contact freereg to confirm.

Hi
I had to go on to FreeReg to see what they have to say for themselves as it is not a site I use frequently - but I should. it confirmed what I thought I knew, see this page Here where it says " For such complete transcriptions, where these exist, the researcher should contact either the appropriate local County Record Offices or the relevant Family History Society."
Of course you do have the source. It is the church's parish register from which the transcription was taken.
Have you looked on familysearch.org? If it is also on there then you could order the film in to your nearest LDS centre.

Widow Surnames when remarrying
Thanks you so much, I'll check the Family History Library. I was a little concerned because they encourage you to go to the original source due to error. One more question. Does anyone know if the surname of this widow is her given name, or her name by marriage? I don't know what denomination, but someone might know what was customary. Thanks again.

I don't know what denomination,
So far as the original record is concerned, you could try the web site of the County Record Office and see if they offer a reprographics service.

Was it? I think it's a non-conformist record.

lotsahunters - Both the records you've quoted are from Church of England registers.
If you're ever in any doubt, on the FreeREG opening page click on 'Counties and parishes coverage', select county, and then check the records for a parish.
In the case of Flores, your record says 'All Saints' - meaning it's definitely Church of England.
Ditto Weedon Bec - St Peter and St Paul is Church of England.
There are some transcribed entries for the Independent Chapels in both places, and if the entry you found was relevant to the chapel(s), then the place name would say 'Weedon Bec and Flore' and the church name would say 'Independent Chapels'.
To the best of my knowledge there are no Roman Catholic entries on FreeREG, so anything with 'Saint' in the church title will be Church of England.

Not to mention that in England in 1792, the only place where you could get married (apart from Jews and Quakers) was a parish church (Church of England).

Yes, you're right.
Yes, I went to the Family History Library to look at the Fiche, and you are correct they're Church of England Transcripts. Most of what I do is in Ireland, a bit different there. Most of my ancestors in Ireland didn't marry until well into their 30's, but I am looking at one in England that was only 15. Is this common?

I wouldn't say it was common (though I don't have any statistics to prove/disprove that ) but it did happen.
It also depends what sort of time period you're talking about. Lots of info available if you search for something like 'legal age for marriage' (possibly adding 'UK'). Two results I found:
