All the details you need should be on the couple’s marriage certificate.
Go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk to access the original records. The indexes are free to search, the digital images pay per view.
There is a 1876 marriage in the index at North Berwick of a couple of this name. You need to look at that original record to see the names of the fathers and mothers of the couple as recorded.
The children’s Scottish birth certificates - also on the site - should record when and where their parents married too.
And it is likely that death certificates for the earlier generation will help you trace back. Also on the same site, along with census returns, pre 1855 parish registers etc.
