James: Your source is a marriage record, or more likely a page from a marriage register, for the state of Missouri. Whether you found it at Ancestry.com, FamilySearch, or on a microfilm is incidental (but should be included in the source citation). I'd use the template for Marriage records > Governmental records > etc. You'll eventually get an option to select Online Digital Images and the fields to enter the website creator and URL. You could use Ancestry.com as the website creator and Missouri Marriage Records 1805-2002 as the website title.

The image is noticeably scanned from a bound book. In the case of something like public records on ancestry, I've been using Ancestry as the source (as all I get in that case is Ancestry's transcription of the original). In this case though, I can see the actual image, but am not sure how to source it. There are two licenses listed on each page (both front and back), and the one I'm interested in is the second one on the page, say p. 42. The following source info. I pulled off of Ancestry which says it was pulled off Microfilm. Would you please advise on what you think the best way to source this is? Your guidance is much appreciated.
