Did Andrew snr marry in Scotland as their doesn't appear to be an English marriage on freebmd?
If he married in Scotland - his marriage cert will give his parents names and also his mothers maiden name

Looking at the 1871 census - he may have married in Ireland. Wife Ellen was born there as was eldest child Mary M

Luckily - the marriage is on the IGI Pilot site

Her birth was in Ireland and will not help you with your main query which is the parents of her father Andrew
Have you checked Scotlands People OPR's for Andrews birth?
I'm puzzled as to how you found his birthplace was Peebles as neither the 1871/81/91 census entries show anything other than Scotland?
