My only suggestion is that since they had a child in Scotland in 1861, then obtaining/viewing that certificate via the Scotlandspeople website

( www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk )
would at least tell you where they were married and when.  If it was in Scotland post 1855, you should then be able to trace a marriage certificate which will give both their parents names, but that may be a hope too far.

Thank you Kazza and little Nell
I did take the action that little Nell indicated some few weeks ago with the result that I got the birth  certificate from Scotland which led me to the place and day of their marriage in Ireland I am now awaiting a copy of this certificate by return of post.
What would we do without this forum? once again Thank you for ypur replies and interest
