He was shown as 65 on 1881 census, so why do you think you have the wrong date? You have the wrong century, but one assumes that was a typing error.

Same for Mary. Buy credits for Scotlandspeople and look at the death registrations.

Other than census records (already shown above), what other information do you expect to find please?

Can't see their marriage.

There's a marriage of a Bernard McWilliams and Mary Anne Johnston in Glasgow in 1845 - but that's not them, mistranscribed or misheard.
That couple are together in 1851, both born in Ireland.

What 'other' sites have you looked at?

And your dates don't make sense, I'm afraid

Where was John born?

What do you actually wish us to look for?

Scotland's People shows the marriage to be in 1881 - the site is free to search for results as below (you need to register first).
Credits cost £7.50 for 30 and you can look at the full detail from the marriage certificate for 6 credits

That should show the Parents names of both parties including mmn
