If the marriage took place in Scotland then the marriage certificate (available via Scotland's People website) should list names of both parents which will make it easier to identify a location in Ireland.

Certainly, only one Andrew Watson birth in Armagh c1880, so you could consider ordering certificate for that.

The marriage of Thomas and Sarah in 1876 was in Armagh registration district, and is recorded in Volume 16,  Page 67, should you wish to order a copy of that too, albeit their respective Scottish death certificates (check scotlandspeople), assuming they died there, should name their parents.

At time of Griffiths Valuation (c1864) there was a Margaret Watson and an Elizabeth Watson listed in Lisnadill, as well as a George Marks. A George Marks is also listed there in the 1888 Bassett's County Armagh directory.

Also, a Lisnadill born George Marks in the 1911 Census for County Tyrone:
