Is this the record you are looking for ? -
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XT2S-MFM
Parent details are very rarely included on these type of records -
Do not expect too much from OPR banns & marriages records. The amount of information recorded can be variable and most entries contain very little detail.

There are 2 records showing on SP on the Old Parish Record's for those names -
3rd March 1844 Galston Ayr
22nd March 1844 Riccarton Ayr
If the couple died in Scotland after 1854 their death certificates should have parents names.

sorry for the delay --i didn't know i had a message waiting
--Margaret Willock and John Murdoch are my (GGG) . Their son George Willock Murdoch married my GG Elizabeth Kent
This is as much as i know as i have been trying to find John Murdoch's parents I beleive it is Margaret Pollock and Robert (John ) Murdoch although I have no proof
