Re 1872 marriage in Whitburn
I wondered if Margaret Buchanan dau of Peter Buchanan and and Mary Arbuckle may have been a registrars error. ( i.e. Buchanan rather than Casey)

It appears not.
William Henderson and Margaret Buchanan had a son named John born in Cambusnethan on 14 Mar 1873.
However, Cambusnethan was exactly where Peter Casey and wife Mary Arbuckle lived at 1871 and it's also where this Peter died in 1873.

There are no other births showing for this couple and the child does match with the 1yr old who travelled aboard the Strathnaver with his parents in 1874.

Therefore: Margaret b Cambuslang circa 1854 shows on the 1861 census as Margaret Casey but  seems to have married as Margaret Buchanan.

I also agree with a previous comment.
Think it was Forfarian?
As the 2nd daughter, her birth name may well have been Margaret Buchanan Casey.

Did anyone find this which provides further evidence that there was no father, step or otherwise named Buchanan
1851: Edinburgh Road, Baillieston

John Casey   72 B Ireland
Peter Casey   21Son B Old Monkland
Mary Anne Casey   18 Daughter in Law. Born CAMBUSLANG

This must be Mary Arbuckle and more or less proves that all of her children were born within this relationship/marriage

EDIT:
Would hazzard a guess that Mary Ann Arbuckle was the daughter of Andrew Arbuckle and Mary Shaw.
1841: Kirkhill, Cambuslang
   
Name   Age
Andrew Arbuckle   40
Mary Arbuckle   35
George Arbuckle   15
Charles Arbuckle   15
Andrew Arbuckle   12
***Mary Arbuckle Jr   8
Agnes Arbuckle   5
Janet Arbuckle   1
Mary Arbuckle   7

Andrew and some of his children are in Shettleston at 1851 but no wife is in household.
Mary Shaw wife of Andrew Arbuckle is entered onto the Cambuslang Mortcloth date 9 Feb 1849.
She died from Cholera

Marriage of Peter Casie to Mary Ann Buckle, old Monkland, 31 December 1850.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I put up the Stepfather theory because I could not understand why we couldn't find the marriage in SP.

The second daughter theory from Forfarian sounds much better.

The William Henderson and Margaret Buchanan marriage is the only one in the timeframe in West Lothian that could fit that I could find for any William Henderson. (I wonder if they both were literate, could they write or did they sign x on this marriage)

The death certificate of Margaret Casey in NZ could easily had William entered as the father instead of Peter because children tend to mudddle things up on death certificates.

I think the odds are very good for the William Henderson and Margaret Buchannan marriage.
Following William Henderson's McGill line looks hard!
