This could be difficult without more information.  William, Elizabeth and Clark are not unusual enough to be able to find them in Scotland without a bit more detail. 

Was Mary the eldest child?  Since she was born in Liverpool it is possible that William and Elizabeth married in Liverpool.  The marriage certificate will give both the fathers' names.  Mary's birth certificate will give her mother's maiden name.  Unfortunately you may have to get both these to progress your search.

CLARK WILLIAM THOMPSO JOHN CLARK/ELIZABETH BROADFOOT FR683 (FR683)
17/04/1847 Urr

There is a William Thompson Clark who married an Isabella Paterson in 1884 in St. Giles but not the same parents nor year. 

What you need to do is https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk sign up and buy a few credits.
Search statutory records for a Clark first name William select 1872-1874 there are 53 entries.  Then in spouse details box note all the Elizabeth's and then go through each buy looking at the original records which will also have both parents names but will cost a bit of coin to do so.

Or he was married in England.

Thanks for that Don M
William Thompson moved to Kirkdale Liverpool
where all his children where born
the mother on the christainings comes up Mary
his  children where  William Alexander 18474 Elizabeth 1876 and Margaret 1878
Can't seem to find a marrage for William and a Mary in Liverpool, Mary could be her middle name that she has chossen to use.
i have this in another line in my tree where my granddad used his Middle name rather than his first name.
William Alexander is my great grandfather, his youngest daughter is Aida May Clark my gran I should have included about William Alexander moving to liverpool.
i seem to be getting more on elizabeth Broadfoot abt 1823 her father was John broadfoot and her mother was Margaret porter
they all seem to live in kirkcudbrightshire untill they moved to liverpool
thanks again for your help jimi

jimi, is this the family here in 1881 Liverpool? William and wife Mary must have been there since circa 1867 given the birth year of the eldest. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27L-2QLS

1871 also here https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KZGY-VWT

Wife Mary or Elizabeth for William born c. 1840?

Possible marriage to an Elizabeth in Urr in 1863 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTRW-9Q2
Ignore this entry...wrong details for William.

Wondering if Elizabeth's surname was Latimer?

There are these christening entries in Liverpool which show mother as Elizabeth Latimer and father William Clark:

Mary 1866 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NYBQ-77C
Georgina 1868 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JWDC-DPV (her death in Canada years later https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FL28-JJ2).
William 1871 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NPN8-JQD
William 1873 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NYB7-CX5 (first must have died).

Marriage would be good to find to confirm!

Marriage in W Derby in the 4th Qrt of 1865 -ref Vol 8b/pg 983.

If you have access/subscription to Ancestry, there is a family tree there for them with lots of details here http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/6819262/person/-1219826710/facts  If not, you can check and see if your local library has access to Ancestry in their reference section.

The marriage cert would help you confirm both their fathers' names.
