Norris - Bristow Marriage Certificate 1918

I have in my possession the marriage certificate of my maternal grandparents William Norris and Lucy Bristow. The certificate provides the following information:

The marriage was solemnized at the Register Office in the District of Southwark in the County of London on the twenty eighth of September 1918. William Herbert Norris is 19 years, a bachelor and a Licensed Victuallers Barman or possibly Barmanager (it is not clear), His address is given as 19 Cooks Road, Kennington Park. His father is Herbert George Norris and his profession is given as House Decorator (Journeyman), Lucy Harrison (?) Bristow is 20 years, a spinster and a Domestic Servant; her address is 64 (?) Claverton Street, Belgravia. Her father is Frederick Bristow and his profession is "Land Farmer". The marriage takes place by licence before the registrar Charles Edward Jones and in the presence of A G Norris and E F Norris. Who are the two witnesses? A G Norris could be my Grandad's older brother George Albert Norris born c 1897, and E F Norris could be his mother Elizabeth Fanny Norris (nee Darby).
