Just a thought maybe he is in 1871 census at Grace street

How old was Margaret when she married?  Does the marriage cert show Jane as Brown but with a maiden surname Gillan?

I think you are approaching this from the wrong angle.  Instead of trying to find a John Gillan who you know nothing about except his address - you should be researching Jane Brown nee Gillan to see if she had a brother John or was living in Grace St at any time prior to her marriage
