The transcription says his residence was in Glasgow at the time of marriage - it doesn't necessarily mean he was born there.
John McDonald in the Shropshire, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1901 Name: John McDonald Record Type: Marriage Marriage Date: 22 Apr 1841 Marriage Place: Bridgnorth, St Mary Magdalene, Shropshire, England Residence Date: 1841 Residence Place: Glasgow Religion: Anglican Spouse: Anne Doughty Page number: 142 Reference Number: P41/A/3/4
And of course the other version, posted previously, says his address was Underhill Street, presumably Bridgnorth.
Unfortunately there's no image of the original to view on either Ancestry or FamilySearch, to check what's actually written.

Fmp has the original MC but there is no further information to what I posted on 24 Jan 2022 14:19.
Btw I've found most of this on fmp.
MCDONALD, THOMAS DOUGHTY GRO Reference: 1842 M Quarter in BRIDGNORTH Volume 18 Page 21
This only means he is Thomas McDonald mmn Doughty not that Doughty is his middle name.
from https://www.gro.gov.uk a fantastic site that gives the mother's maiden name. You need to sign up to it but it is free to do these searches.
Daniel & Donald are sometimes, but not always, interchangeable in Scotland, because Domhnall, the Gaelic version of Donald, may be Anglicised as Daniel. For this reason we have classified these two names as "Lesser Synonyms" although it should be noted that these two names were fully synonymous in the 17th century and earlier.

Yes, looks like it. Not the right John, then.

The marriage cert that I had from some years ago is the one from Underhill Street, Bridgnorth.
The other one that I got hold of yesterday from another Ancestry user says:
Page 142.
Marriages Soleminzed in the Parish of St Mary Magdalene Bridgnorth in the County of Salop in the year 1841
John McDonald of the City of Glasgow Bachelor
and Anne Doughty of this Parish Spinster
were married in this Church by Licence this Twenty Second Day of April in the Year One thousand eight hundred and Forty One
George Doughty and Mary Doughty the witnesses.
Then there's another 2 marriages listed underneath theirs.
