Can you please help me with reading the parents names of John Keenan? Thanks

Sorry but the link doesn't work - at least not for me.
Using FamilySearch, James Keenan & Ellenor Porter are the transcriptions for John Keenan born 8 Dec 1860 in Glasgow. Is that the correct date?

Sorry Nell, I’m not ignoring you. I’m having trouble getting the picture onto here.
The image is a marriage certificate for John Keenan in 1860; I think his fathers name reads Owen, but no idea with his mother. (Although without the image, that info is useless) I will keep trying with the image-it’s saying the file is too big

Can you use the snipping tool for the part that you can't read and post it with a different file name.

Indeed they are, thus hitting my brick wall. No idea where to go next

Are they on any Scottish census?

Depends when the family moved from Ireland to Scotland, but a couple of starting points.
