Church records, normally, contain little additional info other than the names of those involved, but some ministers were more diligent than others and the marriage record may mention her father's name.

Baptism records may contain address and occupation of father

I have four from Barony in the 1790s/1800s. Three name the parents' district of residence, and one gives the father's occupation (he was a reverend). All four list the names of the witnesses.
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 looked at the marriage in 1789 for John and Agnes on Scotlandspeople. John was a soldier in the 55th Regiment. Need to think about where any record of joining etc might be.

Also looked at birth for son John in 1796. Just names and dates. Then credits expired :) :)
