The website to use is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk It is a pay per view site with a free index
Downloading the 1869 marriage cert will give the names of both sets of parents plus mothers maiden name

SP marriages show the surnames as Livingston (no e on end) & McMillan - not Mac - as does the 1871 census
You haven't given full 1871 details but looking at the info you have given shows them living in Dumfries - Archilbald b Rothesay & his brother b Stirling. Catherine b Glasgow

Catherine Livingstone born 1841, Glasgow to John Livingstone & Jean McKechnie
John married Jean, 1840, Glasgow.
2nd child, Jane McKechnie Livingstone born 1845, Gorbals

Sorry. Deleted

All info is available on Scotlands People but for records pre 1855 you need to use the Old Parish Registers as the Statutory Registration entries only start from 1855

Possibly the Livingstone family in 1851 census
(I think Jane might be a mis-transcribed James)
