Hi,
It rather depends on what you want to see. Some people only put their direct ancestors on their tree but I feel that loses some of the social history of the family.
You should always use maiden names on a tree (otherwise the women's lines are lost) so it won't look odd to show a partner's name. Add the marriage when available.
One thing I would say is that it is important to gather accurate, documented information so I would avoid depending on other trees unless you can see their documentation: birth, marriage, death certificates etc. I would also suggest you try to familiarize yourself with the possible locations especially if people were born in places like London. Many cities cover vast areas but, at the moment, Ancestry often gives a birthplace on the UK 1911 census or a residential area on the 1939 Register as "London". A family living in one part of London probably has no links with a similarly named family living elsewhere in London because of the huge population - both now and in earlier centuries. I don't know if Ancestry transcribes place names in the same way in other countries.
You might want to look at some of the help pages on Ancestry, for instance:

You might also want to look at other family history sites which also give guidance on what level of detail to collect.
