Do you have Mary on any census prior to her 1907 marriage?  Was she born in Scotland - if so - when?

I think the original poster is looking for the marriage of Mary's parents.
I have already suggested the following -

"I checked all the Scottish and Irish marriages between 1860 and 1891 but, like you, I couldn't find them.
There is a marriage for Grace Anderson to Donald McNaughton at Tradeston, Glasgow in 1876. This sounds like a possibility, especially as they are at Tradeston in 1891.
If I were you, I'd check the 1876 marriage to look for the name Hood, perhaps his mother's maiden surname or her pervious married surname? Also check the address, you may be lucky and find that it is the same as the 1891 census, which would be too much of a coincidence to ignore".
Paterson, Torrance, Gilchrist - Hamilton Lanarkshire. 
McCallum - Oban, McKechnie - Ross of Mull Argyll.
Scrim - Perthshire. 
Liddell - Polmont,
Binnie - Muiravonside Stirlingshire.
Curran, McCafferty, Stevenson, McCue - Co Donegal
Gibbons, Weldon - Co Mayo.
Devlin - Co Tyrone.
Leonard - County Donegal & Glasgow.

Oh - I must have misunderstood the query - I thought Jw67 couldn't find the 1907 marriage and may have been looking on the England/Wales Civil Registration Index! Silly me.

1891 shows Donald b 1854 Glasgow and Grace 1853 Lanark

3 children apart from Mary - all b Glasgow

Angus 7
George 6
John 4

Mary was b 1890

Suggest you lookup one of the children's births on SP as it should give parents date and location of marriage

Have checked the 1861/71/81 Scottish censuses and there is no entry for Donald

1901 birthyear is 1856 but still Glasgow as birthplace

In 1901 they have a 9yr old son Neil b Glasgow
